Sample Questionnaire from:
Systemic Leadership Toolkit

The Toolkit, which is designed to be run as a self-assessment audit in any organisation, has 9 modules - each reflecting one of 9 key themes from The Search for Leadership. The Toolkit and its self-assessment questionnaires are ideal for use by a small team. Team members don't all need to have read The Search for Leadership because there's a short introduction to each theme in the Toolkit - but we really recommend that one member of the team has got to grips with the book.

Scroll down to read the full text of Module 8: Leadership and the Shadow, including the introduction, questionnaires and advice. Or, if you're wondering what the Systemic Leadership Toolkit feels like to use, here's a selection of the kind of questions you'll find in each module. They're taken from two different modules (on culture and accountability) and won't make sense on their own. But you get an idea of the kind of topics the self-assessment team will be discussing.

Each question is designed to be scored as follows:

How well do these statements describe your organisation? Rate each one on a scale of 0 - 3, where 0 = not at all/untrue and 3 = very well/true.
