LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Jan. 20, 2015 /PRN=KYODO JBN/ --

     IMD, a top-ranked business school and worldwide expert in executive

education, launches the IMD Global Leader Index [http://www.imd.org/gli ], an

innovative new online platform that allows users to benchmark their leadership

capabilities against other executives and identify areas for future leadership

development.

    Businesses are currently spending a great deal more money on leadership

assessment than on leadership development. By providing executives with a free

and credible starting point for thinking about leadership development, IMD aims

to make it easier and more efficient for businesses to invest in their leaders'

capabilities.

    The IMD Global Leader Index shows users where they stand as global leaders,

how they compare with peers, and which leadership capabilities they could

improve. It also proposes relevant executive education programs and free

magazines.

    The methodology

[https://global-leader-index.imd.org/help-center/methodology ] behind the IMD

Global Leader Index is based on 20 years of academic research on leadership in

global organizations by Dan Denison and Robert Hooijberg, Professors of

Organizational Behavior and Leadership at IMD.

    Users define their professional profile and respond to a short survey. The

results identify how their leadership capabilities compare to other global

leaders at the same level of responsibility, according to four key global

leadership capabilities: strategic leadership, execution leadership,

stakeholder leadership and personal leadership. Users also see their top

competencies, as well as their weakest competencies.

    Users can share their results with colleagues and networks, including

through LinkedIn.
