The Leadership Quotient: 12 Dimensions for Measuring and Improving Leadership

Now, there is a formula for leadership, the LQ. Like the Intelligence Quotient and the Emotional Quotient that preceded it, The Leadership Quotient contains verifiable dimensions of leadership that are designed to improve every leader's performance.The Leadership Quotient makes the complex simple by fitting the 12 dimensions of leadership into a framework of leader, follower, and environment. The Leadership Quotient makes the three components measurable and practical for the reader.The "nature vs. nurture" argument is over. There is general agreement that effective leaders are prepared by nature and refined by nurture. The need for improved leadership has never been greater, as witnessed by corporate scandals, world tumult, and economic morass. The failure of ethical moralities and the dumbing down of education give clarion calls for the type of improved leadership available through the application of LQ principles.The Leadership Quotient is thoroughly researched by two leadership experts, who combined, have 37 years of practical business leadership, 45 years of formal education, and 25 years of teaching leadership at the university level. Yet, the book is accessibly written for leadership practitioners. The LQ is years of comprehensive research packaged in a simplified formula for immediate application.
