Leadership Development Areas
These leadership development areas, together with our free leadership self assessment, will give you a starting point for your own leadership development Programme.
These leadership development areas initially resulted from research with MGSCC and Accenture, updated with the areas that current leaders have chosen to work on. Reading about what other leaders have wanted to improve and our free leadership self assessment will give you a starting point for your own leadership development programme. We recommend you follow this with our full 360 Global Leadership assessment.
