One of the best tools available for developing people October 11, 2004

The FYI book is published by the Lominger Limited, Inc, organization as part of their "Leadership Architect Suite". If you are purchasing here on Amazon, please ensure you get the latest 3rd edition. Basically the book outlines over 100 leadership competencies, career stallers, and performance dimensions, and specific information on each to help leaders improve performance.
The competencies section is filled with some insightful leadership aspects that often get left out of most leadership books including: Humor, Dealing with Ambiguity, Approachability, Composure, Caring About Direct Reports, Dealing with Paradox, Sizing up People, and others which are essentially the more difficult "EQ" elements of leadership. Along with these are more traditional concepts such as Business Acumen, Planning, Time Management, etc., and all told nearly 70 specific competencies are discussed in detail.
Each of the over 100 competency and other sections outlined begins with an examination and list of likely symptoms and behavioral results that may occur with an individual who is skilled, unskilled, or is overusing the skill. Each section then lays out some possible causes, and gives some remedies which are pretty detailed and actionable, and provides a comprehensive list of suggested readings for further study.
Not only is this information quite interesting to study from a personal development standpoint, but is quite effective at outlining information critical to building development plans for your associates. I have given this book out to my team, and business leaders for years, and consider it the best tool out there to help any leader coach their associates and help them improve their performance and effectiveness.
While the price of the book is high, the value is higher still if used consistently. If you are a leader of people in any organization who wants to improve your ability to develop your employees then this is a book you will use. Highly recommended.

For your improvement has been so helpful in my daily coaching and managing duties. I find that I use for many situations on a weekly basis. It has helped me pin point problems and decide on a strategy to develop my employees. There is so much information available to you for everyday coaching and feedback situations. It is just amazing how it covers the competencies that my company is measuring and so much more.

A Must Have for HR Professionals October 5, 2008

The competencies that are laid out in this book encompass nearly every aspect of character in a professional organization. I found that it helped me tremendously in pigeon holing some of the behaviors, both positive and negative, that we see in the work place every day - some of which are hard to describe without this guide. It helped me in identifying difficult behaviors when meeting with my business partners/ customers and, more importantly, enabled us to determine what development was needed. It even aided me in identifying towering strengths that can become derailers because of overuse. This guide has been worth its weight in gold.
