The Ramsay Assessment Test is a popular tool in overseas countries for choosing the best candidates for entry-level jobs in different industries. These tests are used by recruiting companies to select deserving candidates for filling positions that require enough occupational expertise.

When Most People Quit…

I want you to think about the last time you quit something. When did you quit? What caused you to quit?

Research shows that most people don’t quit early on (other than when we all give up on that New Year resolution to go to the gym). The research shows many people quit in the sticky middle. Just before they reach the end.

The statistic is sad.

We’ve lost so many great inventions, creations, and works of art because people quit just before the end.

I think back to my first (and only) full 26.2 mile marathon.

I trained hard for the race. I put in all the training miles. And I wanted to quit at the later end of the middle.

Leaders want to quit in the middle, too. They’ve pushed on for so long that they’re tired and worn out. But don’t quit!  Read more...

Quotes And Leadership Lessons From Double Dragon The Movie

My latest book, Reel Leadership, is now available on Amazon. If you love movies and leadership, you will love this book.

Double Dragon is a popular side-scrolling video game initially released in 1987. Due to the video game’s popularity, Double Dragon was made into a movie in 1994 (buy the movie by clicking here). The film has gained a cult following among video game and movie fans alike.

Starring Mark Dacascos as Jimmy Lee, Scott Wolf as Billy Lee, Julia Nickson as Satori Imada, Alyssa Milano as Marian Delario, and Robert Patrick (of Terminator 2 fame) as the villain Koga Shuko, the movie is a fun romp through a time when video game movies weren’t that good.

Today, we will look at the leadership lessons in Double Dragon. There are plenty. So get the popcorn ready and let’s fight… no, let’s lead!

Leaders Are Dream Releasers

As people come onto your team, they put their trust in you. They believe you are going to lead them in the right direction. Maybe even help them achieve their dreams.

Sadly, too many leaders believe their people are there to work for them and them alone. They shackle them with golden handcuffs or maybe they beat them down with unkind words. These leaders are not dream releasers. They are dream jailers.

Maybe you’ve experienced this? I know I have. One leader constantly told me there was nothing better out there. No one would treat me the way they did.

It was a lie. It was a trap to keep me there.

His words did not release my dreams. They shackled me.

I don’t want you to be a dream shackler. Instead, I want you to be a dream release like Dr. Sam Chand.  Read more...
