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. You can also describe in a non-threatening way
how another person provides leadership. 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.

Leadership is no longer seen as one
defining role atop the business pyramid, but as a
relationship between leaders and followers. Today,
leaders come in many varieties, from charismatic
visionaries to quiet team players. Leadership is
understood in its multiple dimensions, with leaders and
followers interchanging roles as the situation demands.
Expand Your Definition of Leadership
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.

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
