The Leadership Assessment Survey (LAS) is a 360° feedback instrument that focuses upon an individual’s leadership skills and abilities. In addition to self-ratings, a panel of colleagues rates the participant on several aspects of his or her work behavior. The instrument takes some 30-40 minutes to complete. It is comprised of 96 behavioral items rated on a five-point scale in terms of both current and expected behavior in addition to 16 items describing the importance of various components of the participant’s work role. Observer ratings can be tabulated by respondent group.

The LAS is a powerful 360° multi-rater instrument for managerial and leadership development programs. Repeated administrations can serve as a professional benchmarking tool for the participant.

The LAS also comes with a copy of the CCI Self Instructional Participant’s Workbook that includes a guide to interpreting LAS feedback as well as developing a self-directed action plan.
