Leadership Assessment



What is Leadership Assessment?
Leadership Assessment is vital in the organisational context.

See our resource library entry on leadership for our views on leadership and its components; here we will cover the assessment aspects.

It is essential that the leadership of the organisation is periodically assessed for the following reasons, it:

  • Gives the leader feedback about the perceptions of their behaviour from various perspectives
  • Sets an example to the rest of the employees that assessment is a good thing
  • Ensures that the leader does not become isolated from the organisation, it draws them back to reality
  • Allows the leader to fine tune their behaviour to meet the expectations of the employees where appropriate

HRworkbench provides assessment tools to evaluate leadership behaviours using a 360-degree Profiling process.

How can Leadership Assessment be used?
Leadership is a primary activity in all organisations.

Best Practice for Leadership Assessment
Best Practice in leadership asssessment varies with the organisational context but involves close attention to the management of people.

Without committed followers, there can be no leaders.
