Publication: Leadership 100 Project Report Study
In 2016 and 2017 we completed an analysis of the behaviors, motivations and skillset of the leaders in Fayetteville and Cumberland County North Carolina. The process began with inviting a nominated group of community leaders to take the TTI TriMetrix® DNA suite of assessments. The assessment looks at behavioral style, driving forces (motivations) and skillset. These leaders came from business, education, non-profits, a government. One-hundred and sixteen (116) participants completed the assessment. We looked at the leaders against the national average, men versus women and African Americans versus White leaders. The findings are insightful and provide basis for moving the community forward on a positive path.
