Winner - 2021 Global Book Awards: GOLD MEDAL / Leadership

A Proven Approach to Leadership that Has Helped Thousands Achieve Success

Today, competency-based education is said to be the learning of the future. Why? Because organizations use competencies to figure out what employees are capable of and where they need to grow.

After years of research – and real-life experience – Dr. Wesley Donahue, Professor of Management Development and Education at Penn State University, has assembled a comprehensive framework of 35 Competencies that are essential for success in virtually every industry, organization, and position.

Building Leadership Competence offers a unique and straightforward approach. The Leadership Competency Inventory allows individuals to

• Assess their leadership skills
• Create personalized roadmaps for success
• Identify on-demand micro-learning courses and other resources that get results

It also serves as a valuable guide for organizational leaders who conduct seminars, workshops, and to use with learn-at-lunch programs

Building Leadership Competence guides you through the 35 competencies and gives you the tools you need to get from where you are to where you want to be.

You start with our Leadership Competency Inventory. Based on your job, it shows you specific skills to tackle. Then each competency discussion teaches you what you must know to show employers that you are the person they want.
