In 2011, Marvel’s comic series Captain America depicted the modern-day ultimate selfless, sacrificial act of jumping on the grenade when Steve Rogers covered a dummy grenade to save his fellow soldiers. He did not know that the lead trainer and assessor threw a dummy grenade. He possessed the key qualities that the senior leader, Colonel Phillips, desired – courage and self-sacrifice. While this dramatic visual vignette highlights these qualities and key elements that contribute to a leader’s character assessment, thankfully, few teammates or leaders ever must prove these qualities through such a mortal test. And yet, most leaders will face tests of their character and willingness to jump on a grenade throughout their professional lives. Leaders prove their courage, character, and willingness to sacrifice for the team to supervisors, peers, and junior teammates…or do not.
