8 Dimensions of Leadership

DiSC Strategies for Becoming a Better Leader

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.

Created from the Everything DiSC^® online personality test — a top scientifically validated tool —The 8 Dimensions of Leadership identifies eight individual leadership styles and why they're important.

You will identify with one of the following 8 Dimensions: Pioneering, Energizing, Affirming, Inclusive, Humble, Deliberate, Resolute, or Commanding. But no single style will take you all the way to success. 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.
