LEAD- Generative Leadership Questionnaire- Interpreting Results and Taking Action
Leaders continually complete and utilize various leadership tools, questionnaires, assessments, and inventories to further develop their skills. The results of these tools provide awareness and understanding of leadership styles and areas for improvement. They also provide insight into how to transfer theoretical knowledge into practice.
In this assignment, you will complete the Generative Leadership® Questionnaire (Dann, 2020, Appendix), rating each question using the scale provided. The questionnaire will highlight six core elements— opportunities, risk-taking, individual leadership attributes, communication and feedback, and expectations—and seven subthemes—having a voice, commitment, perceived need to act, organizational philosophy and practice, role modeling, shared beliefs and values, and structure. You will use this data to compose an action plan to improve your generative leadership style.
Complete the 39-question Generative Leadership® Questionnaire tool from the Appendix of the Dunn text, Managing and Leading Nonprofit Organizations: A Framework for Success (used with written permission).
Step 2. Analyze
Analyze your findings for each core element and subtheme from the Generative Leadership Questionnaire Scoring Sheet (used with written permission) through the lens of the individual, team, and organizational levels. Look for patterns in the data.
Step 3: Interpret
Interpret your understanding of the scores for each core element and subtheme from an individual, team, and organizational level using the Generative Leadership Capacity at the Three Levels table (used with written permission). Explain any patterns you found in the data.
Note: The instructions for completing the table are on the last page of the Generative Leadership Questionnaire Scoring Sheet.
Step 4. Create
Create a Word document for the action plan. Provide a breakdown of your individual, team, and organizational scores. Include action steps you will take to improve your generative leadership style from an individual, team, and organizational perspective. The action plan will consist of a narrative with charts and graphics where appropriate.
