So just how good a director are you? See for yourself. Each question has three possible answers or courses of action to choose from (these can be viewed by logging on to BLBW's website). So you're the Big Cheese what would you do?

1) Your business has been growing steadily over the past couple of years. An opportunity for further growth arises and you don't want to miss it! This will involve moving into new business areas and facing new competition as a result.

2) In the last year you have taken on many new people who have been through an induction process. You have recently updated your organisation's mission, policies and strategy in line with a major change in business direction. You need to check that everyone understands the new information to avoid the "grapevine"!

3) You have been through a busy time that has resulted in some big orders but you have also lost a couple of established customers.

Your accountant has suggested a meeting to review the current situation.

4) You have the opportunity to secure a large order that might stretch your resources but you do not want to let the customer down or miss a potentially large business opportunity.

The bank has indicated that it might provide financing.

5) A business associate, who has recently started a small company, asks for advice on how you stay on top of running your business and how you develop your own skills/approach.

This makes you think!

6) Business is going well and because you have taken on a number of new people, it is clear that you need to move to new premises to avoid possible overcrowding or taking over the car park.

7) You have a new order that will require significant work by the management team to plan, organise and carry out the order by the time that the customer requires delivery.

You need to be certain that they are up to the task.

8) Your workload just seems to grow endlessly. It is time to consider delegating some of your responsibilities before you start suffering from "burn-out".

9) You are going to chair a meeting to consider a change in a major business policy that will affect everyone.

You don't want it to be "just another meeting".

10) You need to make a commercial decision that may be critical to the prosperity of your business.

Coming to the right conclusions could mean the difference between future prosperity for your company or the risk of collapse!
