Leadership Skills Assessment Tools for Consultants and Coaches

Win Win Workplace Solutions provides consultants and coaches access to a wide variety of self-assessment tools that are generally not accessible from publishers without taking expensive certification programs and paying costly annual fees. You can boost the effectiveness of your coaching feedback and expand the depth of workshops and retreats by offering these self-assessments to your clients.

We can recommend three Leadership self-assessment tools that you can easily use with your clients:

• CPI 260^tm Coaching Report for Leaders (See "What Are Your Leadership Characteristics?" in the June 2006 newsletter)

• Leadership Report Using the FIRO-B^tm and MBTI^® from CPP, Inc. is an online self-assessment tool that provides a 17-page report with a view of your leadership personality. An Overall Leadership Orientation section highlights how you lead and the report then describes your leadership style in various contexts: in interpersonal relationships, in teams, and at the level of organizational culture. After identifying some strengths and possible challenges you might face in dealing with change and stress, there is an Action Plan to help you develop your personal development agenda. See the sample report (PDF).

• Dimensions of Leadership Profile^® from Inscape Publishing is a 20-page paper learning tool that helps people discover what they value in themselves as leaders, learn what kinds of leaders they want to follow, and determine the dimensions of leadership needed by their organization.
  
  This tools guides clients in their personal assessment of four broad aspects of leadership -- Character, Analysis, Accomplishment, and Interaction -- that are divided into 12 specific Dimensions of Leadership:

  Enthusiasm Integrity Self-renewal Courage Perceiving Judging

  Performing Problem-solving Team-building Collaboration Inspiring Serving Others

  You can also purchase the Facilitator’s Kit that includes everything you need to conduct a full- or half-day session on the Dimensions of Leadership Profile^®. The kit comes with research and technical background, a fully-scripted seminar, handouts, and a PowerPoint^® presentation that make it easy to deliver a comprehensive training experience right out of the box. See the flyer (PDF) for more information.
