Dimensions of Leadership Profile®

Discovering and Developing Leadership Potential

Leaders come in many varieties, ranging from the charismatic visionary to the unassuming team player. Most leaders display several leadership characteristics or "dimensions of leadership." A follower can become a leader and a leader can spend time as a follower. The Dimensions of Leadership Profile^® is designed to strengthen your organization in three ways

1. Discover what you value in yourself as a leader. You'll better understand how you are likely to make use of a leadership opportunity. You'll see how you contribute to your group's success and find it easier to plan for your own development as a formal or informal leader.
2. Learn what kinds of leaders you want to follow. You'll discover what you value in a leader and what kind of leadership you want to support.

The results offer valuable feedback to present leaders and helps them to see how others perceive their contribution.
3. Determine the dimensions of leadership needed by your organization. Every organization is faced with unique challenges, each of which may require a different combination of leadership skills. With the insights gained from the Dimensions of Leadership Profile, you can more purposefully recruit and encourage potential leaders to contribute where needed.
