Assess Your Leadership Spirit

This assessment from Learning Journey, Inc. is intended as a tool for:

  • Leaders to self-evaluate their own skill level
  • Leaders who wish to solicit feedback by having team members complete the assessment (about the leaders)
  • Getting leaders to think about what skills they should be modeling

Keep in mind that the scores could mean different things depending upon the organization, culture and/or specific leadership responsibilities.

Are You Using the Leadership Skills You Know? Is Your Leadership Spirit Dead or Alive?

Assessing Your Leadership Spirit

Consider the following options for using this assessment tool:

  • Have your leadership team respond to the questions AND then have your team members respond. Compare the two perceptions as a starting point for determining whether your leadership spirit is dead or alive.

  • Have members of your leadership team complete this assessment measuring their personal effectiveness. Encourage them to have subordinates complete the assessment, as well, to determine areas where the perceptions differ.

For each statement, indicate the % of time these leadership behaviors are demonstrated. (Example: If a leader provides timely and specific positive feedback about half the time, indicate 50% on the line provided.)

Print the completed form for the assessed person or team to use as a tool for developing leadership improvement goals.
