Leadership Lessonsfrom the Game of Golf

The Course

This unique golf course consists of eighteen holes, each one devoted to a principle of management. Like any other 18-hole course, there are a number of obstacles and hazards designed to trip you up or throw you off your game. Play the course by circling “Yes” or “No” after each question or statement. Don’t be too easy on yourself as you answer each question. Be as honest as you can. Then use the scoring key on the page that follows each hole to determine the number of strokes you took to play the hole. A final scorecard is included after the 18th hole so that you can evaluate your overall performance and compare it to “par” for the course. Good luck and hit ’em straight!
