Leadership Development Series

Home » Leadership Development Series

SIGMA’s Leadership Development Series provides additional information about what is important about each competency in SIGMA’s Leadership Competency Framework. This framework is used to support our coaching, leadership development, and succession planning services. There are also two assessments that correspond to SIGMA’s Leadership Competency Framework:

  1. the Leadership Skills Profile – Revised™ (LSP-R™) and
  2. the SIGMARadius 360 Degree Feedback.
