What is Holistic Development Assessment

Leadership and management, in their truest state, represent a compilation of knowledge gained through the entire spectrum of experiential learning. While these terms are familiar as unique and individual entities, in today’s global economy they are inexorably linked and increasingly essential. The paradigms of a Novice Leader/Manager and Leader/Manager are discussed along with the communication and acquisition of essential knowledge areas and skill sets via e-learning. Explored are three key areas: the importance of building a holistic foundation for the individual’s role as a Leader/Manager, the essential journey the student, as a Novice Leader/Manager, must take to ferret out and enhance his/her own ability to recognize and close gaps in personal Leader/Manager development, and pathways to guide and support the student’s discovery and transition from difficulties and pitfalls to operating at a point of top level skills and interaction via long distance online learning.
