As a project or engineering manager, your ability to lead others is as important as your technical knowledge. You almost certainly understand your technical strengths and limitations but can you say the same about your leadership skills? 

Inscape Publishing has developed a leadership assessment tool to help you better understand how you are likely to make use of a leadership opportunity, how you contribute to a group's success and how you can better plan for your own leadership development.   ( See the Inscape research report on the assessment tool at http://www.inscapepublishing.com/pdf/DLPO-362.pdf ).

Join us this month to take the Dimensions of Leadership Profile assessment and learn how to use it to be a more effective leader.
