Welcome
Welcome to the Human Development & Leadership Division Community!
Our myASQ community space is designed to give our members centralized access to content within our Human Development & Leadership (HD&L) Body of Knowledge as well as the ability to connect and interact with other community members.
Our Vision is to be the global community of choice for everyone by making human potential an organizational and personal priority.
Our Mission is to enrich the personal and professional lives of our membership, and the global community, to triumph over current and future challenges.
We have a lot of great content that can be found in our community including:
True North is an established reference point to help anyone navigate in any direction, to any destination. It is the basis of the compass and, as the North Star, is what anchors navigational tools. As proponents of Human Development and Leadership, we are each responsible for defining true north for ourselves and teaching others the best ways to use it for their own development and leadership. In his book True North, Bill George defines True North as the internal compass that guides you successfully through life. It represents who you are as a human being at your deepest level. Let our community be your partner in defining your True North; your fixed point in a spinning world.
