The 8 Dimensions of Leadership

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 leadership book provides both.

Using the Everything DiSC^® online personality test —one of the most scientifically validated tools available—The 8 Dimensions of Leadership identifies eight individual leadership styles and why they're important.

You will be identified as one of the following 8 Dimensions: Pioneering, Energizing, Affirming, Inclusive, Humble, Deliberate, Resolute, and Commanding. The leadership book will help you understand the psychological drivers, motivations, and "blind spots" characteristic of your primary leadership dimension.

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 book details the lessons all leaders can learn from each style, enabling you to craft a multidimensional approach to becoming the leader you aspire to be.
