Campbell Leadership Descriptor Participant Workbook (J-B CCL (Center for Creative Leadership))

Before you can further develop your leadership skills and abilities, you must first be able to recognize your strengths and identify areas in which you need to improve. The Campbell Leadership Descriptor was developed for this purpose. Designed specifically for use in situations where a comprehensive analysis of leadership characteristics is useful-such as leadership development seminars, classroom discussions, and one-on-one coaching-The Campbell Leadership Descriptor provides a personalized assessment with a minimum of administrative complexity.

The Campbell Leadership Descriptor is a forty-item self-assessment that helps you discover your strengths and weaknesses in nine major leadership attributes-vision, management, empowerment, diplomacy, feedback, entrepreneurialism, personal style, personal energy, and multicultural awareness. The workbook's self-scored assessment allows you to produce your own profile on the spot. . . . and shows how your self-profile compares with other leaders whom you have known. It also includes questions to help you evaluate the implications of your scores and how to use that information to develop your own action plan for improvement.
When you complete the processes of filling out and scoring the Descriptor and discussing the results, you will be able to:

• Describe the major components of leadership
• Identify the characteristics of a successful leader
• Evaluate your leadership strengths and weaknesses by comparing yourself to "good" and "poor" leaders whom you have known
• Develop a personal action plan for improving your leadership skills and abilities
