The Comprehensive Leader
How do you develop leaders with visionary qualities — those who
possess knowledge of themselves, those they lead, their
organizations, and the world?
The Comprehensive Leader is a powerful tool, measuring the behaviors
that indicate strength or weakness in those 4 key areas. Through a
40-item assessment, participants gain new insights into their
leadership behavior — and their untapped potential — and learn how
to put visionary leadership into practice.
Learning Outcomes
-
Learn the concept of visionary leadership
-
Identify strengths of strategic and visionary leadership
-
Gain insight on how others perceive leadership behavior
Theory
The Comprehensive Leader is based on extensive research of the
relevant literature on leadership. The foundation of the Model of
Comprehensive Leadership is active knowledge — knowledge that is in
constant development and consistently provides the basis for
leadership behavior. The Model of Comprehensive Leadership captures
the dimensions of leadership knowledge necessary for visionary
leadership.
The leadership dimensions of the model are depicted in a series of
concentric circles to convey the distinct yet increasingly expansive
nature of each field of knowledge. The key to visionary leadership
rests in expanding knowledge in all dimensions and acting on that
knowledge.
How It Works
The assessment presents 40 statements pertaining to current
leadership behavior. After scoring is complete, participants create
a profile by plotting their sub scores in the 4 dimensions of
leadership on charts. Feedback scores from associates provide a
side-by-side comparison. Participants then review the 15 possible
leadership profiles. Finally, thought-provoking questions encourage
individuals to find insight from the assessment results and take
action for improvement.
Uses for The Comprehensive Leader
A variety of leaders can benefit from the instrument, including team
or department leaders, middle managers, and senior-level
contributors. As with all HRDQ assessments, The Comprehensive Leader
is effective as a stand-alone instrument or as a component of a
larger training initiative — flexible enough to be used at various
stages of a leadership development program.
The instrument can also be used as a complement to other leadership
models. Ideas for building bridges between The Model of
Comprehensive Leadership and other popular leadership models are
presented in the Facilitator Guide.
