Leatherman Leadership Questionnaire (LLQ, LLQ2)

The LLQ is a knowledge-based assessment tool that measures a participant’s knowledge of effective leadership behavior. The LLQ is the most valid and reliable instrument of its kind, testing 27 leadership skill areas and providing sub-scores for each area as well as a composite score. It measures what your leaders know, not what they think they know, thus saving training time and dollars by providing an accurate picture of strengths and needs.

Many of our clients want to use the LLQ but don’t want to test in all 27 leadership task areas. We have designed shorter versions of the LLQ, selecting the most critical task areas for some of the most common needs. To assess your pre-supervisors or front-line supervisors, you could choose the LLQ Front-line Supervisor Select. For your middle management, you could choose the LLQ Middle Management Select.

Or, if you want to create your own LLQ instrument, picking just those task areas critical to your needs or curriculum, you could request the LLQ Customized Select. Since these custom assessments utilize the same questions and choices, in the same order as the full instrument, the comparative data to the population that has completed the assessment to date remains valid.
