Leadership Styles Analysis
Participants read 30 short cases each describing a leader faced with a decision to make. In each case, the person is asked to choose from a set of five leadership styles the specific style that they would use if faced with making that decision.

The participant's 30 choices to these cases provide the basis for a personalized 12-page detailed report comparing the participant's choices with his or her peers as well as with a comparison group of managers. The selected comparison group is from a database of over 200,000 people. In addition, the participant’s choices are compared with the normative model which purports to predict the consequences of each choice based on available scientific evidence. The choices are also evaluated in terms of their effectiveness, the quality of decisions made, the implementation of these decisions, their time efficiency, and their contribution to the development of team members.

Since the 30 cases are varied in accordance with a sophisticated experimental design, it is possible for the report to show graphically the factors that influence each person’s choices, including any that were overlooked. The report concludes with an individualized set of recommendations concerning ways to improve effectiveness.

This leadership assessment tool is suitable for use by students and managers at all levels. It has been prominently employed in companies' corporate training programs, including those at GE, American Express, AT&T, and Pfizer. Many universities use this technology in their MBA and executive education programs, including Cornell, Stanford, Tulane, and Yale.

The cases may be answered on-line or on hard copy. When answers are provided in hard copy form, the answer sheet can be scanned and sent for processing to Decision Making for Leaders. The leadership reports which are generated from these answers are typically stored for subsequent use in a training program.

The assessment devices and leadership profile have been translated into Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), Danish, German, Polish, Spanish, and Swedish. DMFL is only offered via a certified trainer. Contact us to be put in touch with a trainer in your area or inquire about becoming a trainer.
