Leading & leadership are more about “being” than “doing”; this may not be a psychometric tool, but it will give you a good indication of whether you are being a leader!
Simply assess yourself, honestly, on the twelve elements below and work on those where you feel you are less than 5.
You could also ask others to evaluate you and compare your feelings with how they interpret your behaviours.

If you would like any help developing any of the above do not hesitate to contact me.
I help people to develop their interpersonal skills, usually within a leadership or teamwork context. If you are looking to develop your leadership, I might be able to help. I’ve been doing this for almost 40 years; roughly four thousand days of seminars, workshops, conferences, coaching, offsites, webinars, etc. – put back-to-back that makes almost ten “full” years.
