Development-focused

The report is designed to be easily and quickly interpreted, including the most in-depth, yet relevant, information possible for each Leadership Skill.
The Leadership Skills are based on a review and revalidation of the original research done on the ProfileXT Leadership Report, and a review of contemporary research and thought leadership in this field from Harvard Business Review and Center for Creative Leadership.
