Worksheet

Leadership Questionnaire

Clients often want to improve their confidence. Confidence tend to come from our belief in our knowledge, skills and experience in a specific context. This questionnaire will help you reflect on your leadership knowledge, skills and experience. The aim is for you to reflect on your beliefs about your leadership capability and identify the areas you would most like to focus your development.

The questions are listed under 3 categories:

  • Self leadership
  • Relationship leadership
  • Strategic leadership

When answering the questionnaire i suggest you make notes on the insights you have as you respond. Or you can complete the worksheet and before saving go to the print option at the top of the page and print a copy for yourself. You can use this to reflect afterwards. The print option may not be available on your mobile device.

Where are your development priorities and do you have a plan in place for them? If not, you may want to consider coaching with me.
