I think this set of tools is incredibly useful, especially in today’s L&D climate. While many tools already out in the industry focus on the development of people across the organization, very few focus on the development of leadership skills. As a researcher in the space of leadership development, I can attest to the strong need for tools such as the ones you have created in this set. I especially found useful the tools that focus on the leader receiving feedback from their team and being inclusive of teams’ thoughts and opinions in decisions being made. It is evident that a lot of research and thought has gone into creating this set of tools and I commend your team for their efforts.
