On this Learning for Leadership page, we have pulled together a variety of leadership resources. These will help you deepen your knowledge about effective people leadership.
When you are ready to put your knowledge into practice, our other leadership development resources–workshops, coaching, 360 surveys, team programs–can be of help.
Do You Work with a Difficult Person?
With our behavior questionnaire, just enter the attributes of your challenging person. For instance…
- Are they aloof? Argumentative? Meandering?
- Do they pout? Procrastinate? Monopolize discussions?
Indicate their relationship to you. Are they a direct report? Peer? Boss? Customer?
We’ll send you a report showing where they fall on our Q4 Model, along with several suggested actions you can take to be more effective with them.
Tips for Dealing with Difficult Coworkers and Situations
Want to learn how to deal with a know-it-all boss? A passive-aggressive direct report? The office social butterfly? With nearly 40 different case scenarios, our leadership tips have you covered. There is a wealth of information here about dealing with a variety of common people situations found in the workplace.
Leadership White Papers
Our leadership white papers provide more in-depth information on various leadership topics. These leadership resources include, for example, building a high-performance culture, employee resiliency, performance management best practices, and more.

Leadership Case Study Examples

Learning the Q4 Dimensional Model
The Q4 Dimensional Model of Behavior is a wonderful leadership resource. Developed by our founders, Dr. Robert Lefton & Dr. Victor Buzzotta, it is easy to understand. It deals with observable behavior, so you don’t have play armchair psychologist. It provides a common language for an organization to help get everyone marching in the same direction. While simple, there is a lot of depth and application to it. Learn more about it in our Q4 model article, or in our Leadership Through People Skills book above.
Leadership Workshops
Our workshops help you put your leadership knowledge into action.
Live Classroom Leadership Workshop
Q4 Leadership: The People Skills Advantage is our flagship interpersonal leadership skills workshop. Formerly called Leadership Through People Skills, we have updated this workshop and its name. We offer it in-house, or on a public basis in St. Louis. The public, open-enrollment program is offered as a three-day workshop, while the in-house session is two days and can be tailored to suit organization or team needs.
