Leadership Assessment Tools

These leadership assessment tools will help you to identify areas in which you naturally shine and areas that you could possibly strengthen for even more success.

However, an important caveat. As you learned in the Skills Assessment Page, when you undertake any Skills Analysis, it is simply to identify your strengths and weaknesses. It is not to make you 'expert' at everything - that is unreasonable and a waste of your own and your organization's energy.

Please note that none of these tools have been tested for accuracy or validity, so simply use them for informational purposes.

Like all assessment tools the quality of information you get back is only as good as the quality of information you put in. Try to be as honest with yourself in your responses as possible.

You May Not Need Any Other Leadership Assessment Tools If You Can Be Honest With Yourself!

Although there are hundreds of thousands of leadership assessment tools available to you - there are a few assessments that will never fail to let you know how you are going as a leader ... if you look closely and are honest enough in your own assessment

How Do People Respond To You?

• Are they for or against you?

• Does the room light up when you walk in or does the cloud of doom come down?

• Do people seek you out for your thoughts, insight and advice?

• Are you listened to in meetings?

• Are people willing to try your ideas even if they are radical or unproven?

• Are you included in social events?

How Is Your Career Going?

• Are you sky-rocketing up the corporate ladder (if that is what you want of course!) Or have you plateaued in a job that doesn't ignite you?

• Are you seen as a mentor or a rising star?

• Have you been offered to work in different areas of the business or on cross-functional project teams? (Good way of assessing your 'worth' to an organization - how often they get you involved in x-functional activities)

• Does anyone from your leadership team come and bounce ideas off you?

• Have you got good work/life balance or are you a slave to the job?

• Are there a number of people that you can point to who are rising stars because of your mentoring and leadership?

• Are you the 'go to' person when there's a challenge or crisis that needs strong leadership?

What Are Your Results Like

• Is your team delivering awesome results?

• Are you personally satisfied with how you are tracking?

• Do you feel you are under-living your potential by a long-shot?

• Do you consistently receive bonuses and salary increases?

• Are you living the lifestyle you desire?

• Are you happy?

The thing is when you can look at how things are going - are you happy, are you delivering results, do people like and respect you -- you have all the information you need to now if you are successful.

Sure you could choose to improve your skills in specific areas - e.g. develop the capability to look at the bigger picture - but those elements contained in many leadership assessment tools more often than not don't take into account that each individual can be successful in his or her own style. No one skill set is going to make you a great leader.
