Common questions
Is the leadership style quiz really free?
Yes. The quiz is free: 10 questions, about 2 minutes, and your result appears on screen without an email address. A one-page PDF of your result is free too if you give a name and email. The full Leadership Style assessment is $19.95.
What are the five leadership styles?
Integrator (collaborative), Driver (results-first), Supporter (relationship-first), Balancer (balanced) and Monitor (procedural). They sit on two dimensions, Concern for People and Concern for Purpose, a model that goes back to the Ohio State leadership studies and Blake and Mouton's managerial grid. No style is the right one; each has strengths and a blind spot.
How is the free quiz different from the full Leadership Style assessment?
The free quiz shows which style leads for you and which comes second. The full assessment uses 12 leadership situations and takes about 20 minutes. It shows your exact position on the People and Purpose grid, your dominant and backup styles, and strengths and watch-outs for each style. With the Multi-Rater Option ($69.95), people who work with you answer the same situations about you.
Can I use the quiz with a group of leaders?
Yes. Share the link, have each leader take it, and compare where each person lands on the grid. It is free for a leader to run with their own group. If you lead the group, the results page has a link to tell us about your group and get the Leadership Style kit: the Coaches Guide, the Leader Guide, the Debrief worksheet and two sample reports.
