To be an effective leader you need to know your strengths – but that’s only part of the story. You also need a broad perspective on all the behaviors needed to be an effective leader. This book provides both.

Using the third-generation DiSC® online personality assessment – one of the most scientifically validated tools available – The 8 Dimensions of Leadership helps you identify your primary leadership dimension. Whether you are a Pioneering, Energizing, Affirming, Inclusive, Humble, Deliberate, Resolute, or Commander leader, the authors help you understand the psychological drivers, motivations, and “blind spots” characteristic of your style.

But no single style will take you all the way. A Humble leader may have a hard time making tough decisions. A Commanding leader may run roughshod over potential allies. The authors detail the lessons all leaders can learn from each style, enabling you to craft a multidimensional approach to becoming the leader you aspire to be.

The 8 Dimensions of Leadership Map tells you your primary leadership dimension, and two dimensions that you may need to work on. This Map is designed to guide you through the book.

The 8 Dimensions of Leadership Map is built using the Everything DiSC® model. After responding to the online Everything DiSC assessment, along with several leadership-specific needs-analysis questions, you will receive a one-page map that explains your primary leadership dimension and points you to specific chapters in the book. This enhances your reading experience.
