10-15 POINTS: DUSTY BAKER

• You are a supportive manager. You know the policies and procedures well and try to keep everyone playing nice together. You don't think out of the box much, but you provide steady, consistent guidance.

• A company finds you valuable because you keep chaos to a minimum and have tolerance for the things that don't go right all the time. You keep the wheels moving and the drama to a minimum. You won't instigate innovation, or lead the company to No. 1, but you will keep the routine going respectably while the innovation takes place.

16-25 POINTS: PHIL JACKSON• You're good at handling the complexities of a game with

many players. You can make adjustments on the fly to keep everyone focused on winning today's game. You have a strategy for the season, but you also believe you can only play one game at a time. You know how to handle a myriad of intense personalities and get them going in the same direction even if they don't all play at their best.

• A company needs you because the world changes and you can't run everything the same way forever. You have the ability to take the team members through minor disruptions and get them to improve processes along the way while keeping them happy and satisfied.

26-35 POINTS: WARREN BUFFET

• You are excellent at recognizing trends and establishing pathways to exploit them. You have no problem inspiring the troops in both hard and exciting times. Your delegation skills are excellent, which allows future leaders to rise and expand on your efforts.

• A company needs you because innovative success can't all come from dreaming and ideating. Practical visionaries have to take what exists and build it exponentially without letting the wheels come off the bus.

36-40 POINTS: MOSES

• Your vision is powerful and persuasive. You have the ability to convince large groups of people to pick up and follow you into the wilderness, and great instincts about where to find the Promised Land. When you make mistakes, they can be big ones, but you stay focused on getting everyone safely through the crisis.

• You're not the best for maintaining the team on a day-to-day basis, so delegate well to your managers. Use your time for what you do best: exploring, creating, inspiring, and motivating. Give yourself a lot of thinking time so you can resist the impulse of snap-decision orders.
