PITTSBURGH, Jan. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DDI ,
a
global leadership
company,
today
unveiled
its Leadership Skill
InsightsSM assessments, now included with all
DDI Leadership
Development Subscriptions. Drawing on 50+ years of research and expertise, this
assessment transforms how organizations develop leaders by providing real-time, accurate data to target skill gaps and boost performance.

Unlike a self-assessment, Leadership Skills InsightsSM goes beyond perceptions, providing accurate, unbiased data for personalized development plans. These competency-based assessments evaluate leaders' practical knowledge in applying skills in real-world scenarios. The result is focused feedback on key strengths and areas for growth, covering 15 behavioral competencies like Aligning Performance for Success, Creating a Culture of Trust, Delegation and Empowerment, Resolving Conflict and more. Each assessment takes under 10 minutes to complete and gives leaders clear next steps for further development. Leadership Skills InsightsSM integrates seamlessly into leadership programs or with curated "learning playlists"
included in a DDI subscription.

"Assessments are powerful tools for growth and development, offering leaders personalized insights and feedback that are truly actionable," said Verity
Creedy, VP of Product Management at DDI. "Our
latest
innovation
shifts
the
focus
of
assessments
from evaluation
to
growth, enhancing
leadership
capabilities
for
skills
needed
today
and
the future.
It
also
provides
HR
teams
with flexible
and
scalable
solutions
to
address the
unique needs of
every leader."

In today's dynamic business landscape, leaders are expected to do more, faster and often with fewer resources. Yet, many leaders aren't given the feedback they need to know what's working and what's not. Research from DDI's
2023
Global
Leadership
Forecast reveals 45% of leaders want more assessment to inform development. Leadership Skills InsightsSM helps to address these challenges by providing:

• Real-Time Awareness To Drive Behavior Change: Objective and focused feedback enables leaders to improve their skills, helping them respond more critically to changing strategies and increasing expectations.
• Personalized Development at Scale: Group data equips LCD teams to design impactful, tailored programs that engage leaders and ensure buy-in.
• Empowered Growth: Leaders gain valuable insights into their strengths and areas for improvement, fostering meaningful and actionable development.

"It's valuable to [assess] scenarios that are not happening yet...so I understand the way I might act. It gives me learnings and insights," said one leader in the U.S. healthcare industry.

retailer
shared,
"The

of improvement
was
