Assess your skills in eight key leadership abilities and discover how to become a more effective leader.

There is no one skill that will make you an effective leader. Effective leadership is composed of a number of different competencies, or puzzle pieces. If all the pieces of the puzzle are not in place the effectiveness of the leader will be limited. This self-assessment helps you determine your strengths and development needs in eight core competencies that will help you become a more effective leader. It includes interpretative information and tips on how you can further develop your skills in each of the following key areas:

Contextual thinking, Creative assimilation, People enablement, Reciprocal communication, Directional clarity, Change orchestration, Driving persistence, Emotional intelligence

An action plan is included to help you plan what actions you will take to develop your leadership skills starting with your three lowest scoring categories. Because the Leadership Effectiveness Profile is linked to a number of other Self Discovery assessments there is an opportunity to drill down even further and look more closely at the competencies that contribute to effective leadership.

How this instrument is scored
This instrument measures an individual's competencies using 12 questions in each category and is scored on a 5 point Likert scale ranging from Almost Never to Almost Always. Scores for each competency are plotted onto a spider diagram (providing a quick visual representation of the leader's scores). From this an overall "Leadership Effectiveness" score is derived. The assessment provides simple interpretative data on what impact high or low scores in a specific area may have and some suggested development activities.

This assessment is primarily designed as a self-assessment by purchasing extra copies (one for each respondent) it can be used for 180 or 360-degree feedback. An online version is also available which provides automated scoring and a comprehensive output report. Please contact us for more information.
