MDI Leadership Skills Assessment (2026)

Your Team Leader stepped up to the job in (year, month), charged with bringing all together to support each other through the work that is uniquely available here on your team. Use the 1..5 ratings below to score him on each of the 16 qualities that follow.

Be prepared to discuss your answers in a future team meeting, particularly if you and your teammates rate the leader quite differently from his own self-rating. It will help if you take some notes now, regarding what came to mind as you chose your 1-5 numbers for each item.

When you have completed the survey, send your answers to whoever your Team leader designates. Your answers should remain confidential within the team.

(Items marked with "*" were added since the original 2009 version.)
