Leadership Competency Development Guides

Home » Leadership Competency Development Guides

To complement our Leadership Skills Profile – Revised™ (LSP-R) SIGMA’s consultants have developed a series of guides with practical activities for leadership skill development.
. . .

The LSP-R is SIGMA’s flagship leadership assessment, and it comes with a comprehensive Focus Report. This report includes a summary of results, guidance for development, and an in-depth analysis of scores on each of the 50 leadership competencies measured by the assessment (see sample report). To help you take your development one step further, SIGMA’s consultants have put together a series of Competency Development Guides. These guides provide a list of accessible, on-the-job activities you can use to practice each leadership competency. The guides also include links to books, videos, articles, and other resources to support your development.

Below is a list of the leadership competencies measured by the LSP-R, along with links available Competency Development Guides. Contact SIGMA if you are interested in receiving a guide that is not currently available.
