WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Leadership Effectiveness Scale Test

business leadership

This measure is intended to assess perceptions of leadership-related behaviors and decision-making in work or group settings. The Leadership Effectiveness Scale focuses on how an individual’s typical responses in leadership situations may relate to practical outcomes and team functioning.

The instrument by Edwin A. Fleishman consists of 40 items and takes about 8 minutes to complete. Respondents rate their usual habits and reactions across common management and influence scenarios, yielding information that may be used to identify relative strengths and potential development needs.

In applied settings, the Leadership Effectiveness Scale may be used as a brief screening tool to support leadership development, coaching, or selection processes, and results are best interpreted in conjunction with other sources of information (e.g., interviews, performance data, and broader assessment findings).
