Your leadership identity is more than just your title or position – it is the result of your personal experiences, values, and beliefs. But how aware are you of this?
The Leadership Identity Questionnaire helps you reflect on your leadership identity and gain clarity about what defines you as a leader. It reveals how your past has shaped your leadership, which patterns you may have unconsciously adopted – and how you can lead more authentically and effectively.
Why does self-reflection matter?
Many people adopt leadership patterns from their environment without questioning them. But true leadership begins with self-awareness and authenticity. Those who understand their own identity can make clearer decisions, inspire others, and lead teams more effectively.
What you will uncover through the Leadership Identity Questionnaire
This questionnaire guides you through a structured reflection process, focussed on four key areas:
✅ Your formative experiences: What events have shaped your understanding of leadership? How have they influenced you?
✅ Your current beliefs: Which principles and values guide your decisions as a leader? What unconscious patterns influence you?
✅ Your leadership style today: How do you currently lead? What role do intuition and emotion play in your leadership approach?
✅ Your personal development path: What does success mean to you? What changes do you want to create for yourself and those around you?
