How is Leadership 9 Box set up?
There are a total of 4 sections in each module, with a total of 9 Modules (9 boxes, 9 modules!).
Each section contains the following:
- A short 10-question survey to understand your current skills as a leader. You can choose to give this to your manager/ peers for a 360 review.
- Goals/objectives of the section to clearly state the purpose. If it is not a section you need, simply move on to the next one!
A section can take between 15 minutes to 1 hour to complete. Some will find it will take them longer to master the content and will choose to go back to the section.

Getting started is easy! Follow the steps below:
- Go to the course catalog
- Choose the course(s) that interests you and challenges your leadership skills! Register for the first section. For example, if you wanted to improve your communications skills, you would register for D: Communications for Leaders
- Note: You will have two options for each course:
- Course only – You will have access to the 4 e-learning sections of the module & pre/ post assessments
- Course + SME Access – In addition to access to the 4 e-learning sections of the module and pre/post assessments, you will also have access to all activities & discussion. You will have the opportunity to review & turn in activities to a Leadership SME who will evaluate and give tailored feedback. Upon completion of the module, you will get a L9B Certification for the module, which can be immediately posted on LinkedIn as an official LinkedIn certification.
- Note: You will have two options for each course:
- Take the assessment. Each Section 1 of a module (A1, B1, C1, etc.) has a short 10-question assessment aimed to help you self-identify your current abilities of the topic. Be honest. There are no right or wrong answers. You will get a score at the end.Note: A score of 50 does NOT mean failing (this is NOT a college course, after all) – but it shows your areas of strength and opportunity.
- Take the course. Review each section. Learn the material and read the additional information.
- Complete the activities. Each section has 2-5 activities aimed at building SPECIFIC skill strengths. Some may require you to talk to others at work, to reflect on a specific time, or to do specific activities.
- Turn in the activities. Once you are done with each activity, turn it in via the Activity portal in the section. If you have the Leadership Influence or Elevate (silver or gold) plan, a Leadership 9 Box SME will give you feedback within 48 hours.Note: Leadership SME’s will evaluate your material based on content and how well you completed the assignment. The scores range from 1-5:
Score Description 1 Well done, above average understanding of the activity. 2 Good job, the leader understands the activity, but could work on specific areas if desired. 3 Good, but not enough to pass – the leader has some understanding of the material, but may be short on content, or missing a key component. 4 Fair, not pass – the leader may have some understanding of the material, but is missing large parts of the content or several components. 5 No pass – the leader has not shown understanding of the material, and is missing large if not all parts of the content and many components of understanding. Note If you get a 3, 4, or 5, the SME will give specific instruction on what was missing and what is needed to pass. - Join the discussion! Each section has a discussion board – aimed at sharing specific topics relevant to the discussion. Share your viewpoints and experiences, and give feedback to others
- Get your certificate! For each section you complete, you get a certificate automatically added to your Profile. You will be given a choice to:
- Download the certificate
- Share certificate on LinkedIn (you will need to login to your account using the credentials of your profile)
