Your leadership style and how you present your style to others is complex and well beyond a simply one label process. Dr Suzanne Goodman steers away from labels, but rather opts for a far more in-depth interpretation that recognises the multifaceted aspects of each leader.
Your success as a leader starts with greatness in your inner core; your strength, vibrancy, maturity as a leader, self-concept, values and thinking patterns. These, in turn, determine your success in your outer-core; your leadership skills and competencies.
Once you understand your deep-seated values, you will have a stronger appreciation of why you behave and make decisions the way you do.
Without understanding why we act the way we do, we may relapse into our original behavioural patterns after a while. This is more likely to happen in stressful and uncertain situations; the very types of volatile, uncertain, changing, ambiguous (VUCA) workplace environments we, as leaders, often encounter today.
The MLEI Tool is a Powerful Measure of a Leader’s Inner Core.
The Map of Leadership Maturity® (MLEI) is the only known enneagram that specifically addresses current and emerging leader development, growth, and maturity (Mattone, 2013, Intelligent Leadership loc 1198).
The MLEI Tool is less a measure of a leader’s personality and more a measure of a leaders potential to respond to stress and “disruption” in a positive (mature) or negative (immature) way. Therefore, it is not a measure of “who you are” but is more a “leading indicator” measure that predicts a leaders “can do” and “will do”. It highlights a leaders gifts they need to leverage and the “red flags” they need to accept and address.
The MLEI has 2 Scales in relation to your Leadership traits:
SCALE 1
How Active?
SCALE 2
How Mature?
The Strategic-Tactical Leadership Index-360™ (STLI-360) is a 72-item (measuring 9 strategic and tactical “outer-core” leadership competencies) multi-rater assessment. It is one of the most popular leadership 360 assessments available today. It also includes us handling all the details to ensure your stakeholders are properly notified about their participation in your 360-assessment and provides confidential STLI-360 access information so they can provide their anonymous feedback. In addition, I will prepare a rich, actionable custom 40-page STLI-360 Report that will enable you to: (a) compare your self-assessment ratings to your stakeholder’s (manager, peers, direct reports, indirect reports, and other) ratings; (b) detail your highest and lowest rated competencies and behaviors; (c) highlight your most significant “blind spots” and “surprise strengths”; and (d) capture “open-ended” comments from your stakeholders about your leadership strengths and development needs.
