Take Your Leadership Skills to the Next Level

Whether you're a leader by title or a leader by action, the way you communicate in today's hectic business environment is critical to your success. Your company wants more from you than just the confirmation that you can do your job. They want top notch employees who can communicate effectively with all types of people in the fast-paced complex world that exists today. Here's a chance for you to take your leadership skills to the next level.

Is Leadership A Title?

Nope. Leadership is a universally useful skill. A leader is defined by the dictionary as someone that someone else follows. By this definition, everybody is, has been, or will be leader.

But leading others can be truly difficult because we're all different. Have you ever walked away from a discussion with another person shaking your head because you were talking on two different planes? I know I have and it was frustrating. All because my style was different from the other person and at that time I wasn't quite sure what to do about it.

How Your Leadership Style Affects Others

Our personal styles generate behaviors that determine how we will “naturally” lead others. Your strategic style can determine how much emotion you use, the character of your communication, type of planning you employ and the kind of environment you create. Over time, your leadership and management style becomes as comfortable as an old shoe. It's your winning strategy and you use it without even thinking about it. We each have a specific way we like to "think" and "act" as we lead and manage others.

Why Should I Learn More About My Leadership Style?

Being comfortable with your style is a good...and not so good thing. Studies have shown that roughly 25% of the population shares our leadership style. That's good. But that also means that roughly 75% of the population has a leadership style that is different from ours. That's not so good. It means that at any given time, your peers and team members will find your leadership style inconsistent with theirs.

These differences cause a lot of the breakdowns to occur in your day-to-day communication and interaction with others in the workplace and have the potential to turn into full blown conflicts. All because we don't understand our own leadership style -- the way we automatically "think" and "act" as we travel through our day. The best leaders want to know about their strengths and weaknesses. They're continuously learning and working at being better leaders. Aren't you one of those?

I thought so. That's why you'll find so many nuggets of value in your I-Opt Leadership Assessment. Using this powerful and simple online assessment that's been used in Fortune 500 firms by over 25,000 people, you'll understand with precision and clarity how people with other styles will react to your leadership style. You'll also learn to focus on how you "think" and "act" in your leadership role when leading others and making good decisions. To help you quickly grasp the leadership concepts, your leadership report uses terms like Stimulator, Innovator, Processor, Analyzer and others to help you easily "read" other people who are looking to you for leadership and guidance. When you get your results, you'll understand how valuable the I-Opt Leadership Assessment is to your leadership strategy and will find yourself returning to it time and again.

I've been using the I-Opt Assessment in my work with people and organizations since 1996.

The reports generated based on your response to the simple 24-question survey have the greatest face validity of any tool I've ever used -- and I've used plenty of them.

It's common to get comments like, "Wow! This report pegged me." and "This report is an eye opener, it gave me some real "aha's" about my style."




How do I know my Leadership Style results will be accurate?


Good question. A comprehensive validation study for this assessment involved over 14,000 people who took this assessment over a period of six years. The validation studies involved both statistical analysis and expert panels.

The studies revealed that more than 99% of respondents felt the assessment described them accurately.

These results are impressive. They're based on research with thousands of people in organizations all over the world who upgraded their leadership skill through the I-Opt Assessment including
