According to Gallup, "leaders are responsible for 70% of employee engagement." And, Fortune magazine said, "Leadership is the single most important characteristic linked to the success of an organization." Another study by DDI found "57% of employees leave their jobs because of their boss." The foundational principle of leadership is those who would lead others first need to understand and manage themselves. At the core of all the skills necessary for effective leadership is Self-Management, the ability to understand one’s personality and to adapt one’s approach to situations in order to promote better outcomes for the business and for the people working in the business.

I moved to Greensboro, NC to learn from the life's work of one of the co-founders of the Center for Creative Leadership (one of the top 5 leadership firms globally). Unquestionably, the best organizations use assessments extensively for optimal leadership development since self-awareness is the foundation of all learning, growth and performance.
