Leadership Score

The Leadership indicator measures how well your leadership team is perceived by employees in terms of their presence and accountability. This can include factors such as the accessibility and visibility of leadership. These items correspond to the effectiveness of communication and decision making, and the level of support and guidance provided to employees. A high level of leadership indicates a strong, engaged, and accountable leadership team in the organisation. Specifically such a leadership team is able to inspire and guide employees towards achieving organizational goals and objectives.

The Leadership Question

Leaders in {our organisation} are connected to the daily reality of our business and respond appropriately.

A High Leadership Score

High scores in Leadership show that your organisation’s management team are connecting with your employees. Great leaders confidently motivate your teams to focus on the mission. Strong Leadership scores also indicate that your senior managers are caring about their teams, the environment and the social environment of the workplace. You may want to:

• Check the Themes that are most prominently correlated to this high-scoring attribute

• Capture some comments that capture how your organisation is responding positively to this attribute.

A Low Leadership Score

If you score low in Leadership, it may indicate that employees feel disconnected from the senior leadership team, and by extension the organisational strategy and organisational mission.
