About this package

Assess Own Leadership Qualities focuses on understanding effective leadership, examining your own behaviour and planning improvements. It treats leadership qualities as observable, repeatable behaviours rather than personality traits or job titles. Learners explore communication, integrity, adaptability, decision-making and emotional intelligence, considering how these qualities affect team motivation, clarity and performance across workplace contexts. This gives learners a practical basis for judging leadership through evidence rather than general impressions.

The first part connects leadership qualities to everyday situations: explaining change, keeping promises, responding when plans fail and making decisions under pressure. It considers how leaders weigh available evidence, risks and realistic alternatives when information is incomplete. Emotional intelligence is explored alongside decision-making, helping learners consider the effects of their choices on people as well as results. The emphasis is on recognising what effective leadership looks like in action.

The self-assessment content examines the gap between what a leader intends and what colleagues actually experience. Learners explore external feedback from peers, colleagues or tutors and compare it with their own perceptions. Topics include self-awareness, blind spots, discrepancies in feedback and reflective questioning. Rather than treating feedback as a judgement of personality, the package presents it as evidence about behaviour. Learners use that evidence to identify strengths and select a manageable set of development priorities.

The final part turns reflection into a leadership development plan. Learners consider the area to improve, the evidence supporting that need, specific actions, resources or support, timescales, success criteria and a review date. The content also explains how constructive feedback can inform a change in workplace practice, such as making briefings clearer and checking understanding. This makes the package relevant where learners need to move beyond recognising a weakness to planning, applying and reviewing a practical improvement. Video content is included, and the e-learning package is delivered through your organisation’s own LMS.

Who it’s for

Suitable for aspiring or current team leaders, supervisors and managers who want to assess and improve their leadership practice. It also suits learners studying leadership who can draw on peer, colleague or tutor feedback.

What’s covered

  1. Foundational Leadership Qualities in Modern Workplaces

    Introduces communication, integrity and adaptability as observable leadership behaviours. Learners consider how clear direction, listening, fairness and responses to changing priorities provide evidence of effective leadership.

  2. Leadership Judgement, Emotion and Performance Outcomes

    Explores decision-making when information is incomplete, including weighing evidence, risks and alternatives. It connects judgement and emotional intelligence with the effects leadership decisions have on people and team performance under pressure.

  3. Using External Feedback to Assess Leadership Strengths

    Explains how feedback from others provides evidence about leadership behaviour rather than a verdict on personality. Learners examine how others’ experiences can reveal differences between intended actions and their actual impact.

  4. Self-Awareness and Identifying Leadership Development Priorities

    Covers self-awareness, blind spots, feedback discrepancies and reflective questioning. Learners compare their own perceptions with others’ feedback to identify strengths and select focused development priorities.

  5. Building a Leadership Development Plan for Targeted Improvement

    Sets out the seven elements of a leadership development plan: the development area, current evidence, action, resources or support, timescale, success criteria and review date. It shows how to turn general feedback into specific, observable improvements.

  6. Using Feedback and Workplace Practice to Strengthen Leadership Development

    Explores constructive feedback as advice for changing future behaviour. Learners consider how to translate observations into practical workplace changes and use follow-up feedback to review whether those changes have improved performance.
