Extracted Content: Abstract – The 16PF® personality test and 16PF® Leadership Coaching Report were utilized as a framework to assess and develop the critically important but often under-emphasized leadership “soft skills” of MBA students. The test was administered to 59 students in five Teamwork and Team Leadership MBA classes over a two-year period. Test results are provided in the form of a 16PF® Leadership Coaching Report, which identifies strengthen, and weaknesses, performance comparisons to successful leaders, and specific developmental recommendations. Students were asked to use the report as the basis for an assignment to (1) better leverage two of their existing strengths in the workplace and (2) make improvements in two of their weaker areas. Anonymous, end-of semester responses from students were uniformly very positive.
