The
Comprehensive Leader
New Instrument
Redefines Visionary Leadership
What does it really
mean to be a visionary leader? And why is visionary leadership so
vitally important to the well-being of today's organizations? The
answers to these questions can be found in The Comprehensive Leader, a
new learning instrument that uses a simple, easily understood model to
help individuals identify their strengths in the area of strategic and
visionary leadership. Recently published by HRDQ, the instrument is
available through the HRDQ catalog, an exclusive collection of
experiential learning materials.
What sets The
Comprehensive Leader apart from other leadership models? Laurie Ribble
Libove, co-creator of the instrument, explains. "While traditional leadership instruments measure
often-unrelated skills and behaviors, The Comprehensive Leader focuses
on four interrelated dimensions of active knowledge that we've
identified as crucial to successful leadership in the '90s.
"Visionary
leaders are aware," she continues. "They are aware of
themselves and who they are, they are aware of those they lead, they
are aware of what their organization is about, and they are aware of
what is going on in the world. Out of their knowledge springs personal
conviction and earned credibility. And that is why they inspire
others. People believe in them and follow them because they lead from
a deep self-knowledge and a constantly updated knowledge of their
organizational world."
To generate a
leadership profile from The Comprehensive Leader, respondents measure
the degree to which they currently demonstrate active knowledge in
each of the four dimensions: knowledge of themselves, those they lead,
the organization, and the world. In addition to subscores in each of
the four dimensions, respondents generate an overall comprehensive
leadership score.
In the instrument's
interpretive section, participants will learn how weakness in any of
the dimensions impacts their development as visionary leaders, and
what they can do to strengthen their awareness and understanding in
each field of knowledge. They will also learn how to enhance and put
into practical use the knowledge they already possess. The
instrument's Facilitator Guide includes a series of activities that
are designed to help participants increase their levels of awareness
in each of the four dimensions.
The Comprehensive
Leader can be applied successfully to a broad range of leadership
positions, including team or department leaders, middle managers, and
senior-level contributors. The instrument is also flexible enough to
be used in a variety of organizations, including private sector
companies, government, educational institutions, or non-profit
organizations.
The Comprehensive Leader is available exclusively from HRDQ. If you
