How to Tell if You’re a Great Leader - COO Sean Burke of Prometric


Listen Later

Delivering great results doesn't mean that you’re a great leader, especially if you’re doing too much of the work yourself. So how can you tell?

Answering this question is vital for your own leadership development and growth, but it can be a difficult one to consider.

I host Sean Burke, COO of Prometric, where he shares one powerful way to tell if you’re a great leader. He leads a team of 2,000 employees and built and sold 7 companies. He uses this one question to evaluate himself and the hundreds of teams he led.

Prometric is a leading provider of technology-enabled testing and assessment solutions to many of the world’s most recognized licensing and certification organizations, academic institutions, and government agencies. For over 30 years, they've supported more than 25 million exam hours at their testing locations in more than 180 countries around the world.

He also posts stories daily on LinkedIn relating to leadership, sales, and culture.
