Before you can help others develop their leadership skills and
abilities, you must first help them to recognize strengths and
identify areas in which they need to improve. The Campbell
Leadership Descriptor was developed to achieve just that. Designed
specifically for use in those situations where 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.
I have used the Campbell Leadership Descriptor with managers
from most of the Western European countries. It helps to focus
participants on their own leadership behavior, and to identify areas
for development. In subsequent classroom discussions, they get
suggestions from others in developing their own action plans. The CLD
has worked well for this purpose."

"The Campbell Leadership Descriptor was a critical
component in the formulation of personal leadership development plans
for our chief staff officers and executive directors. By identifying
the characteristics for successful leadership, our participants were
motivated to begin a journey of self-reflection and analysis of their
own leadership strengths and shortcomings. The diagnostic tool set the
stage to further leverage strengths and improve upon
weaknesses."
