What traits should a leader have? Are some leaders better suited for certain types of positions than others? How do you tell who is best suited for which positions? One of the best places to start assessing leadership potential is with the Winslow Dynamics Profile Instrument, a 24 Character Trait Assessment that is invaluable for interviewing, hiring, coaching, developing and assessing right relationship with organizational positions. Brenda Chaddock hosts Ed Allen, Executive Director of the Winslow Research institute and Executive Coach, a former Vice President at Oracle Corp. and a U.S. Navy Rear Admiral (Ret.) for an insider’s look at optimal traits for leadership.

Selecting and developing leaders is all what LEADERSHIP EXCELLENCE is about.
My name is Geoff Pace, leadership consultant for LEADERSHIP EXCELLENCE. We are now celebrating our 25th year in business as the sole leader in personal and professional development and excellence in the printed "open forum format."
I search for three categories of people to invite them into our Family of Excellence:
1) writers, lecturers, presenters, and motivators to contribute to our three monthly periodicals on excellence - Leadership Excellence, Personal Excellence, and Sales & Service Excellence.
2) Member/subscribers to our various print and electronic services for individuals as well as organizations and groups
3) Promoters and advertisers of books and conferences based upon the three modalities of excellence described above to either co-brand or advertise their services in our publications in several different ways.
Or, any combination of the above categories which would be mutually agreeable.
I look forward to your comments, too.
Respectfully submitted and excellently yours,
Geoff Pace
