In this survey there are thirty statements about the things that leaders do. The statements all describe behaviours or activities.
Please read each statement carefully and rate yourself in terms of how frequently you engage in that behaviour or activity. Record your response by circling the appropriate number on the 1-5 scale.
1 – If you rarely or never do what is described
2 – If you do what is described once in a while
3 – If you sometimes do what is described
4 – If you do what is described quite often
5 – If you do what is described frequently or always
In choosing your response be realistic about the extent to which you actually engage in each behaviour. Do not select responses in terms of how you would like to see yourself; respond in terms of how you actually behave.
When you have finished you will need to transfer your responses to the ratings sheet attached to the end of the survey.
If others are going to help you in your leadership style assessment pick up to five people who know the way you work well. The best way (for 360 degree feedback) is to select subordinates from your team, your line manager and a colleague as well.
Choose people who will be frank and whose opinions you respect. Decide whether you want their responses to be anonymous or not, but make sure that your name is on the observer’s assessments sheets you give out, and agree with them if you want them to put their name on their observer’s response sheet.
