The Toast Test
What will they say when you leave?
When a good leader moves on, nobody talks about the targets. They tell stories and raise a glass. Seven questions to check you're building the right ones.
How to use it
No scores. Answer each with a name and a date. If you can't, that's your answer, and your next move.

When did someone last bring you bad news before anyone else knew?
