You need a good questionnaire that collects relevant information and feedback. Questionnaires are created based on competency models -- a conceptual framework of leadership. A good questionnaire is always based on a solid competency model.

Our leadership competency model reflects in-depth study of leadership practices. It has been developed based on years of experience in leadership development and mete-analysis of current leadership research.

We have identified three major aspects of leadership:  the foundations of leadership, the orientation of leadership and the execution of leadership.

Foundations. In the center are the three core competencies that serve as the foundations of leadership. The foundations are:

• Integrity/ethics. They demonstrate integrity, professional ethics, courage, honesty and dedication.

• Personal leadership traits. They possess realistic self-awareness, demonstrate an orientation for achievement, and take reasonable risks. They demonstrate creativity, flexibility and resilience in the face of adversity.

• Professional credibility. Effective leaders have sufficient knowledge and technical skills in their disciplines and functional areas.

Orientation. Effective leaders consistently demonstrate an orientation or mindset

• to coach and mentor to develop others in the organization. 

• to communicate and build relationship. They influence others and to create follower support. They build collaboration and trusting relationships and communicate whenever possible. 

• to focus on customers and to be the customers’ best advocates. They understand that the organization exists to serve its customers.

Execution. With a solid foundation of personal leadership characters and consistent orientations of communication, customer focus, and mentoring and coaching, leaders realize the organization’s vision and accomplish the organizational goals by

• delivering visions and gain commitment. They articulate the vision and strategies, rally people, and gain commitments toward the organizational goals.

• championing the change process. They lead and manage organizational changes by invovling stakeholders.

• building high performance teams.

• managing the business process to deliver measurable results.

Leaders in any organization can improve their effectiveness and performance by gathering and responding to feedback regarding these areas from people with whom they work.
