Peer to Boss is a free self-test from Coach42 for people promoted, or about to be, over former peers. You answer 14 questions, from 1 (never) to 5 (always), on friendships, fairness, old gossip, feedback, authority and feeling left out. You get a score out of 100, your three awkward hotspots, and one thing to try on Monday for each.
