Influence Style Indicator Certification

What is the Influence Style Indicator?

The Influence Style Indicator™ is a leadership assessment tool designed by Discovery Learning Inc. that assesses a leader’s personal style as they influence others. The tool is suitable for leaders at all levels; it focuses intensely on the ‘art’ of influence – measuring a leader’s preferred (primary) and secondary influencing styles, as well as highlighting any underutilised styles for development.  

The Influence Style Indicator™ leadership assessment instrument measures and addresses a leader’s unique influencing orientation and style. After completing the self-directed online influence style questionnaire, the leader receives a personalised report that shows the strength of preference for the five key influencing styles and outlines a dominant orientation. 

Influencing styles:

1. Rationalising – using logic and reasoning to present and rationalise ideas and views
2. Asserting – clearly stating preferences, challenging the opinions of others and applying some pressure
3. Negotiating – finding common ground by compromising and making concessions
4. Inspiring – creating a sense of shared purpose and exciting possibilities
5. Bridging – listening, connecting and engaging with others to build coalitions

This leadership assessment tool is helpful in many situations, including leadership development, leadership self-awareness, team development, change management scenarios, coaching/mentoring and conflict resolution.
