Character Development Series

Home » Character Development Series

To complement our Leadership Character Insight Assessment (LCIA), we have developed a series of handouts designed to help you develop each dimension of leadership character.

SIGMA’s Leadership Character Development Series provides additional information about what is important about the individual dimensions of leader character. Every guide provides tips on how you can improve your skills, and includes resources to watch, read, or listen to.

Below you will find the complete list of leader character dimensions as well as links to corresponding guides. If you have any questions about the material, or if you would like access to further development resources, please contact us.
