WHAT’S MY LEADERSHIP STYLE
In order for you to improve your leadership, you first have to understand the varied strengths and weaknesses within your own abilities. Leadership style is someone’s unique way of influencing others to work towards specific goals. The most effective leaders have the flexibility to adapt their leadership styles to meet the requirements of individual people and different situations. In What’s My Leadership Style?, you’ll learn how to identify your own personal leadership style (including Direct, Spirited, Considerate, and Systematic), discover how to utilize your own personal qualities, and explore how to use your talents to adapt to critical situations.
LEADERSHIP UNLIMITED PROFILE
The Leadership Unlimited Profile is a scientifically-backed, research-based assessment tool designed to provide valuable, targeted feedback on behaviors which can inhibit quality leadership and manager effectiveness. Unlike many leadership tools, which often focus on building strengths through activities via a situational leadership questionnaire, Leadership Unlimited targets areas where participants are most likely to fail. By identifying and removing these limiting behaviors, or “derailers,” leaders can perform at their highest levels, helping prepare participants for management roles, critical transitionary periods, and team building.
MATRIX MANAGER INVENTORY
Managing has only grown more challenging over time. With remote workers, different teams, and real-time results, the simplified, top-down approach taught in many businesses classes is being substituted for what appears more like a spider’s web — a matrix. And this makes effective management a task that’s much easier said than done. Since managers need to be more fluid and flexible than ever before, Matrix Manager Inventory: Leading in a Collaborative Environment offers a training package featuring a mix of self-assessment, workbook activities, and classroom workshop capable of benefitting everyone from mid-level managers to project managers who need to oversee globally dispersed teams.
WHAT’S MY COMMUNICATION STYLE?
Uncover preferred styles of verbal and nonverbal communication with the fast and fun What’s My Communication Style?. Using a 24-item inventory, participants will learn their preference for one of 4 communication styles, recognize the various facets of communication, and learn how to use their own style to enhance communication.
THE INFLUENCING STYLES INVENTORY
Do your managers recognize the communication style they use to deal with day-to-day problems? Are they using the best approach? The Influence Styles Inventory underscores for your managers the importance of assertiveness in getting others to do what they want ‐ as an alternative to coming on too strong or backing off.
PRESENTATION SKILLS PROFILE
Presentation Skills Profile is designed for use by anyone who is called upon to prepare and deliver presentations. Those who require their audience to agree with a conclusion and/or course of action will gain particular benefit by using the profile.

This business simulation takes a focused, personal, and proactive approach to managing the emotional side of change, helping employees learn how to regain a sense of control and turn negative emotions into positive actions.
In decades past, change leadership used to fall squarely on the shoulders of the executive echelon. But in today’s empowered organizations, the responsibility of championing change cascades throughout the organization, regardless of authority or position. Leading Change at Every Level is comprehensive self-assessment and classroom workshop that measures skill level and develops the five behaviors of effective change leaders. It’s the leadership training toolkit every trainer needs to build competent change leaders from the top to bottom.
Everyone has a reaction to change, whether the change is organization-wide or specific to individual departments or employees. The more we know about the process of change, the better equipped we are to take steps toward the acceptance of change and adapt to it in our work and our lives.
