Dimensions of Leadership Profile is designed to strengthen your organization in three ways:

Discover how you want to lead
With the Dimensions of Leadership Profile®, you will 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
The Dimensions of Leadership Profile can be used to show what people need (or prefer) in a leader and highlights the kinds of leadership they want to support. It also offers a non-threatening way for followers to describe how another person provides leadership. The results offer valuable feedback to present leaders, helping them see how others perceive their condition.

Determine the dimensions of leadership needed
Every organization is faced by 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.

Develop Leaders at All Levels of the Organization

The Dimensions of Leadership Profile helps people in your organization:

• discover personal leadership characteristics
• define primary qualities needed by leaders
• develop an understanding of the leader-follower relationship
• encourage acceptance of different approaches to leadership
• match leadership approaches to organizational needs
• meet the challenges of today's team-oriented workplace
• recognize the strengths in shared leadership

The 12 Dimensions of Leadership Measured

In successful organizations, 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 abandoned elaborate hierarchies in favor of a flatter, team-oriented approach to leadership and management. Leadership is also important in Total Quality Management and is one of the evaluation criteria for Malcolm Baldrige quality awards.

Leaders come in many varieties, ranging from charismatic visionaries to the unassuming team players who help their peers work together in accomplishing goals set by others. Most leaders display several leadership characteristics or “dimensions of leadership.” What's more, a follower can become a leader and a leader can spend time as a follower — just like wild geese in flight.

Leadership as a Relationship

The Dimensions of Leadership Profile looks at the interrelationship of leading and following. It allows individuals to decide when it is appropriate to lead, and to assess when to follow. Multi-dimensional work teams demand workers with flexible roles, who know themselves and bring a breadth of skills to bear on their environment, and who contribute multi-dimensionally throughout the work process.
