Self-Assessments
Self-assessments for individual capability as well as the capability of the organisation/team being led are available on this page. They are available in both English and Chinese.
An organisational/team wide survey (anonymised if needed), customised to show level/department/country etc. as needed, and branded to the clients organisation with subsequent report, is also available (e mail for more details: info@ComplexAdaptiveLeadership.com ).
Some recent feedback from those who have used the self-assessments:
“ I liked the relatively simple short questionnaire and then how this resulted in an easy to digest report with some recommendations to address.”
“ It is time efficient and questions are selected well.”
“Great thanks! “
“ It’s spooky how telling my results were…”
The simple self-assessments consists of 16questions and show:
