Instructions

Your feedback is an important part of our performance management program. This tool is intended to gather broad feedback in the core competencies and role responsibilities that are important for the on-going success of our organization. In an ongoing effort to reinforce job performance fundamentals, you are asked to respond to the statements that follow. Please read each statement carefully, refer to the rating scale provided, and decide to what extent you engage in the behavior described.

You will use a 5-point rating scale, from 'Never' to 'Always'.

In assessing each statement please ensure your selection accurately reflects your experience (i.e., do not respond on the basis of "what you would like to do" or, "what you think the right answer is.") Respond on the basis of your actual behavior. At the end of the questionnaire are a few text boxes to allow you to elaborate on your responses.

When you have completed the assessment click "Submit." Your assessment will be processed and combined with the feedback you received from others. You will receive summary feedback at the conclusion of this survey project.

The data you receive will be confidential. This Leadership Feedback exercise is intended for your ongoing growth and development.

To what extent do you typically engage in the following behaviors?

What would make you more effective in your job?
What changes should you make in order to develop professionally?
What do you think your supervisor wants you to concentrate your efforts on?
