Leadership Development Series
Competency-based talent development guides at the tips of your fingers.
. . .
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: the Leadership Skills Profile – Revised™ (LSP-R™) and the SIGMARadius 360 Degree Feedback.
Below you will find a complete list of our leadership competencies as well as links to corresponding handouts. Each guide provides tips on how you can improve your skills, and includes resources to watch, read, or listen to. If you have any questions about the material in the guides, or if you would like access to further development resources, please contact us.
