Abstract: A method for pre-hiring and post-hiring leadership development is performed by computing devices. A Software as a Service (SaaS) delivery model is used in which software is licensed on a subscription basis and is centrally hosted in the Internet Cloud or on a server. Organizational account login types and permissions are assigned corresponding to function. The login types include Super-users or Leads, Supervisors, Employees, and Affiliates. The software guides the login types through a process of leadership development activities, including creating, maintaining, storing, and viewing, on a computer, data that includes positions. The process also assesses the positions using numerical weighting preferences to create corresponding Competency Models and/or Culture Fit Models. The process also assesses candidates using evaluative criteria derived from the Competency Models and/or Culture Fit Models.
