HBR Spark - What is the Leader Profile?

The Leader Profile is your personalized leadership GPS, designed to help you grow in the areas that matter most to you. It’s a core part of the HBR Spark experience, built to support your development goals, fuel your motivation, and track your progress over time.


Where Can I Find my Leader Profile?

You can access your Leader Profile directly from the HBR Spark homepage. Look for the "Your Leader Profile" option on the left-hand side of the page. Clicking it will take you to your personalized development space.

From there, you can:

  • View your selected focus skills
  • Update your focus skills
  • Track your progress over time
  • Explore personalized learning recommendations

If you're just getting started, your Leader Profile will begin to populate as you engage with content and make skill selections.
