Leadership Skill-Building Made Manageable
25 March 2014
Allison reviewed FYI: For Your Improvement by Michael Lombardo and Robert Eichinger in preparation for some training she’s attending this week and remembered why it still makes our reading list of our seven all-time favorite books.

Today and tomorrow our team, several of our local colleagues, and one of our clients will be attending training to get certified in VOICES®; a 360 feedback instrument based on the Leadership Architect® Suite of 67 Competencies, 19 Career Stallers and Stoppers, and 7 Global Focus Areas identified as critical to success for leaders and managers across organizations. Developed by Lominger International, which joined with Korn/Ferry in 2006, this is one of the more prevalent competency frameworks we encounter and is the basis of resources like the book FYI: For Your Improvement.
We use a variety of 360 tools with our clients and are looking forward to adding VOICES® to our suite of options. (Tune in next Tuesday to read more about the power of 360 feedback and to find out what I learned in training this week.) Today, I hope you’ll read my 2011 blog post on FYI: For Your Improvement so you can learn why it’s our favorite reference tool for when you need help figuring out how to deliver feedback or addressing one of your own leadership development needs. There’s a reason it still makes our reading list of our seven all-time favorite books and I’m certain you’ll find it a little easier to lead and manage with this resource on your bookshelf.
