Leadership Self-Assessment: 10 Powerful Questions to Gauge Your Effectiveness

Leadership isn't just about holding a title; it's about inspiring action, fostering growth, and achieving results. But how can you truly know if your leadership style is hitting the mark? As an executive coach, I've found that self-reflection is a potent tool for uncovering your strengths, weaknesses, and overall impact.

To help you assess your effectiveness, ask yourself these 10 critical questions:

1. Are my team members engaged and motivated?

• Coaching Insight: Engaged employees are more productive, innovative, and loyal. If your team is enthusiastic and committed, it's a strong sign of effective leadership.
• Coaching Question: How can I further enhance engagement and create a more inspiring work environment?

1. Do I foster open communication and collaboration?

• Coaching Insight: Effective communication is the lifeblood of any team. If your team members feel comfortable sharing ideas, offering feedback, and collaborating openly, it indicates a healthy work culture.
• Coaching Question: How can I further encourage open communication and create a more collaborative environment?

1. Am I building trust and psychological safety within my team?

• Coaching Insight: Trust is essential for high-performing teams. If your team members feel safe to take risks, make mistakes, and challenge ideas, it signals a high level of trust.

1. Do I provide regular feedback and recognition?
