LEADERSHIP PATHWAY

There are 12 online resources available on the SixStyles website to help you get the maximum benefit from the "Discovering Your Leadership Style" book. Here you will find links for the SixStyles free inventories and tools, as well as the more advanced tools; and learn how to upgrade to the Extended Report of your style and how to order the "Discovering Your Leadership Style" book that this website is based upon.

Here is the suggested road to take, so you receive the maximum help as a leader:

1. Take the free leadership inventory: click here. There are eight different inventories, one matches your current role.
2. Study your 3-page Style Profile that appears instantly after you take the free inventory. It will give you an overview of your scores in Spirituality, Chemistry and Strategy, as well as your Leadership Wisdom score, and your Style of Christian leadership.
3. Buy "Discovering Your Leadership Style," which is the book that the inventory is based upon. You can purchase the book here.
4. Upgrade to the Expanded Style Profile - each complete report contains 20 pages of helpful information about you, your Style and how knowing your Style will help you grow stronger and deeper as a leader. It contains much more information about your specific style than the corresponding style chapter in the book. The cost is $9.95, but is 50% off ($4.95) during April - June.
5. Have your team(s) take the Team Profile. The Team Profile will create a team profile of your whole staff and/or board. You will receive back a 4 page report that will guide your team through a conversation on who they are and what it means to serve together. It will help them individually discover their Style (and what that mean for them), as well as help each person understand the style of the other team members. Hundreds of churches have used this inventory in a "pre-release" version, and have found it both energizing and insightful to forming a stronger group identity. Boards, leadership teams and committees will all find this a fun and insightful activity, that will bear fruit immediately.
