Help leaders quickly understand their influence style

The Influence Style Indicator™ is a leadership measurement 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™ assessment helps leaders understand their personal influencing style – how they rationalise their viewpoint, assert opinions, negotiate, inspire – this knowledge allows leaders to discover new ways of approaching communication and connection with others in any scenario.

The tool is helpful in many situations including:

  • leadership development
  • leadership self-awareness
  • team development
  • change management scenarios
  • coaching/mentoring
  • conflict resolution

  2. Asserting – clearly stating preferences, challenging the opinions of others and applying some pressure
  3. Negotiating – finding common ground by compromising and making concessions
