Dimensions 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.

EXPAND YOUR DEFINITION OF LEADERSHIP
Leaders come in many varieties, ranging from the charismatic visionary to the unassuming team
player. Followers can become leaders, and leaders can spend time as followers. Most leaders
display several leadership characteristics or “dimensions of leadership.” 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. Discover what you value in a leader and what kind of leadership you want to support. Describe how another person provides leadership in a nonthreatening way. The results offer valuable feedback to current leaders, helping them see how others perceive their contribution.
3. Determine the dimensions of leadership your organization needs. 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.

points of view: self as leader, another person as leader, or the need for leadership. The profile
