I’ve been fretting about the role of lead of leaders. I have a good rubric for understanding and evaluating front line leaders, but lead of leaders is a very different gig that requires a different set of leadership muscles. Briefly and incompletely, they need to be better at:

• Delegating work
• Influencing
• Decomposing vision into strategy
• Executing that strategy
• Building of new leaders

This article documents interview questions of CEOs – some useful material here.
