About this test
A micromanager, a motivator with threats or a mysterious "it should have been yesterday". The hell boss doesn't always scream. Sometimes he simply sets a problem without context, checks every comma, or writes in the evening "not urgently", expecting an answer in a minute. We classify these managerial talents.
The test looks at trust, feedback, deadlines, delegation and respect for the team's time. The result can be useful to both the manager and the one who is only planning to seize the corporate throne.
