LEADERSHIP STEPS ASSESSMENT (LSA)

Leadership has many different components.  This exercise offers the opportunity to assess your leadership activity on several of these dimensions.  You will be asked in Part I to rate a series of descriptors (adjectives) for how well they currently describe you, and then in Part II to rate a number of sentences as to how well they apply to you.  Note that you should answer regarding how you currently see yourself, not how you think that you should be, or would like to be.  There is no benefit to trying to “game” the assessment—just make the best assessment you can of how you currently are on items in the inventory.

Important:  Please do not read ahead.  After you have completed all of the items, then you can go on to the theory, scoring, and interpretation sections of the packet.  These will explain the nature of the instrument and what it is measuring.  If you read ahead, you may bias your responses and reduce the value of the data to you.

The instrument will take between thirty and sixty minutes to complete.  Please leave yourself enough time to complete the instrument and work through the scoring and interpretation.  When you are ready, please turn the page and begin.
