Lead with Influence: Self-Assessment

Gain Clarity, Strengthen Your Impact, and Lead with Confidence Across Every Level of Influence

Discover Your Leadership Influence Potential

 

The Lead with Influence Assessment helps you uncover how effectively you inspire, guide, and influence others. By evaluating how often you display key leadership behaviors—from communicating vision to fostering buy-in—you’ll gain clarity on both your strengths and areas for growth.

Your total score reveals your current stage of influence:

  • Emerging Leader (0–34 points): Building confidence and foundational leadership habits.

  • Developing Leader (35–74 points): Expanding visibility and demonstrating growing impact.

  • Strategic Leader (75–115 points): Leading with influence and insight across the organization.

Turn Insight into Focused Leadership Actions

 

Once you know where you stand, take purposeful steps to enhance your influence and impact. Each leadership level includes specific actions to accelerate your growth:

  • Emerging Leaders: Seek mentoring, improve communication skills, and request consistent feedback.

  • Developing Leaders: Build relationships, lead strategic projects, and sharpen decision-making skills.

  • Strategic Leaders: Mentor others, drive innovation, and lead cross-functional initiatives to extend your reach.

Build a Lasting Culture of Influence

 

True leadership influence grows through continuous learning and collaboration. Strengthen your environment by sharing insights with your team, recognizing others’ contributions, and modeling transparent, confident communication.
When influence becomes part of your culture, leadership success follows naturally—creating alignment, trust, and stronger performance across your organization.

Begin your future leadership journey. Prioritize areas for your growth and start the shift from subject matter expert or emerging leader into a leader who can drive influence through your entire organization or team.
