On
Succession Planning, Warren Buffett Is No Donald Trump
Poor
Warren Buffett. Here is a man who has had a long and exceptional
career that’s certainly not been all about the money.
But as he comes to terms with his mortality and thinks about
a successor at Berkshire Hathaway, he's been taken to task
for planning a competition of sorts to name his successor.
In a recent New York Times column partially titled
"The Apprentice: Omaha Edition," Buffett was even
accused of having Donald Trump-like tendencies.

Have
you taken the leadership styles assessment test?
You
might be your company’s biggest rainmaker. You might
be a brilliant strategist. You might be hitting and exceeding
performance goals for your unit, your division, your company
– every quarter.
But
if you jumped ship or disappeared today, what would you leave
behind?
What
would the people you’ve worked with do differently because
they worked with you? What would they think about differently?
Would they emulate your behaviors in any way? Or would they
be saying “I’m never going to do that/be that/act
that way?”
The
way that people think, behave, approach work and life as a
result of having worked with you – is your leadership
legacy. And it has very little to do with your abilities,
your measurable performance, your strategic savvy. It has
everything to do with who you are, as a person, at work. It
has everything to do with your natural role, (as opposed to
your title and responsibilities).
Although
natural tendencies can be slightly influenced and accentuated,
your goal should be to align your intended legacies as closely
with your natural style as possible.
The
Leadership
Legacy Assessment Test will help you articulate your natural
role with clarity, as distinct from your career path, current
position, or the current condition of your company. It will
help you sort out the distinctions between your roles and
titles, and identify where you get the greatest satisfaction
and where your strengths lie. Ultimately, it gives you something
to think about as you plan the kind of legacy you want to
leave.
The
self-assessment has 30 multiple choice questions and will
take only a few minutes to complete. Results are 100 percent
private, visible only to you. We do not collect any information
about you and have no way of seeing your results.
Take
the web-based Leadership
Legacy assessment test now.
