Leaderless Group Discussion (LGD)WHAT IS THE LGD?Industry and government continue moving toward a team approach, an approach that requires cooperative problem solving, effective communication skills, and the ability to influence others by presenting ideas in an open, approachable, and non-threatening manner. The Leaderless Group Discussion (LGD) evaluates group interaction skills which are known to be critical to success in supervisory/managerial positions by presenting candidate groups with problems that face virtually all managers. The LGD is a highly effective method for separating those who desire to rule from those who desire to lead, those who rely upon their position power from those who rely upon their personal power, and those who value their own ideas exclusively from those who are open to the ideas of others.

Effective leadership is based on influencing others in a way that builds commitment, loyalty and group cohesiveness. Effective candidates:. Demonstrate self-confidence that inspires others.
