To complement our Leadership Character Insight Assessment (LCIA), we have developed a series of handouts. As they are developed, we will continue to add them to this page.
SIGMA’s Leadership Character 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 listing of leadership character dimensions as well as the links to the handouts (if available). Contact SIGMA if you are interested in receiving one that is not available currently. Visit this page periodically to discover more.
