The US Department of Energy (DOE) and the Westinghouse Electric
Corporation (WEC) announce the availability of LEADER-360 to US
organizations at NO COST. This field-tested paper-and-pencil tool
provides participants with feedback from their superiors, peers, and
subordinates concerning their development needs in 10 leadership
areas, including influence, strategy, delegation, and communication.
LEADER-360 consists of a 7-page evaluator's booklet surveying 43
leadership behaviors, and a 14-page administrator's guide, containing
instructions, a scoring key, a calculation worksheet, a feedback
summary sheet, and a reading list. This is a complete, turnkey
package which can be administered without modification.
Through the joint DOE and WEC technology transfer program,
corporations, consultants, educational institutions, non-profit
organizations, and government agencies can obtain non-exclusive
intellectual property rights to LEADER-360 at no cost, allowing them
to use the tool for commercial, internal, educational, and research
purposes.
To obtain LEADER-360 and non-exclusive intellectual property rights at
no cost, please review the application provided below, complete

Government nor the contractor will seek licensing fees, royalties,
and/or any other form of financial compensation from the recipient;
5) If printed materials are generated from the transferred technology,

Government and the contractor, pursuant to the terms set forth above.
6) If the technology is to be commercialized, the recipient will
remove from printed materials all other references to the WID,
Westinghouse, the DOE/CAO, and their employees unless otherwise
stipulated. 7) As requested, the recipient agrees to provide DOE/CAO
and WID a courtesy review/inspection of modified technologies before
