Dimensions of Leadership
Profile®
DISCOVERING AND DEVELOPING LEADERSHIP
POTENTIAL.
In a successful organization, leaders can
be found at every level - from the boardroom to the mailroom, from
the chairman's office to the customer service desk. This is
particularly true in organizations that have given up elaborate
hierarchies in favor of a team-oriented approach to leadership and
management. Leadership is also important in Total Quality
Management and is one of the evaluation criteria for the Malcolm
Baldrige quality award.
EXPAND YOUR DEFINITION OF LEADERSHIP.
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:
- 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.
- Learn what kinds of leaders you want to
follow. Discover what you value in a leader and what kind
of leadership you want to support. Describe how another
person provides leadership in a non-threatening way. The
results offer valuable feedback to present leaders, helping them
see how others perceive their contribution.
- 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,
you can more purposefully recruit and encourage potential leaders
to contribute where needed.
DISCOVER THE 12 DIMENSIONS OF LEADERSHIP.
The Dimensions of Leadership Profile®
allows learners to explore leadership from one of three points of
view: self as leader, another person as leader, or the need for
leadership. The profile then guides learners in their personal
assessment of four broad aspects of leadership: Character, Analysis,
Accomplishment, and Interaction. Finally, learners determine
how they view the 12 specific Dimensions of Leadership:
- Enthusiasm
- Integrity
- Self-renewal
- Courage
