Leadership skills evaluation Checklist

In any business it is important to establish a set of clear and defined leadership competencies, so HR and other stakeholders know whom to fast track for leadership. Don't be vague with things like "Creativity" and "Innovation".

Use the following leadership skills evaluation checklist to assess and keep track of areas for development.

It is critical to keep an eye on the effectiveness and legitimacy of your leadership.

The responses use the capacity matrix response set defined as:

  • Information: I have heard of this and can answer simple questions about it. 
  • Knowledge: I can explain this in my own words and relate it to other things.
  • Know-how: I can apply this and know when to do so.
  • Wisdom: I know why this is so, can apply it in new situations and can teach others.

How often should this be used?
Annually for all leaders
