Learning to Assess Leader Behavior

Every aspect of leadership has both strengths and weaknesses. To complete this exercise, include information into each cell of each table, so you develop a well balanced approach to leadership assessment. We do not support “cherry picking” information, such that bias is invited into the analysis. No leader/leader system is either all good or all bad.

To complete the following table, think about your current leader. Which of the following characteristics is a strength for your current leader? Which of the following is an opportunity for improvement for your current leader? Rank order each column from Strongest to Weakest with Strongest being your first choice or #1. Complete every cell in the table.
