Nobody is really prepared to be a leader. Many leaders never planned on becoming one; it was simply the next step in their careers. That's why there are so many books on leadership. So do we really need another one? The short answer is yes.




Too many leadership books have too narrow a view, telling you to focus on your particular strengths. Your strengths only tell part of the story. What you really need is the big picture: a broad perspective on all of the behaviours needed to be an effective leader.




Based on the DiSC personality assessment—one of the most trusted, most widely used, and most scientifically validated tools available--The 8 Dimensions of Leadership identifies eight individual leadership styles and why they're important.

The 8 Dimensions of Leadership contains an access code to a short online DiSC assessment. Your DiSC Assessment Map will tell you if you're a Pioneering, Energising, Affirming, Inclusive, Humble, Deliberate, Resolute, or Commanding leader. You'll understand the psychological drivers, motivations, and "blind spots" characteristic of your primary leadership dimension.




But no one style will take you all the way. For instance, a Humble leader may have a hard time making tough decisions, and a Commanding leader may dictate to people who could otherwise potentially be allies.
