Team Leader Skills Inventory

Team Leaders need to understand their leadership behaviors and gain insight into what specific behaviors they employ well – and which they don’t. Unfortunately, behavioral insight is often missing from performance appraisal feedback which focuses primarily on results rather than behavior. To gain equally necessary behavioral understanding and insight – either your own or that of a colleague – turn to the Team Leader Skills Inventory (TLSI).

The TLSI provides behavioral skills feedback for team leaders in eight areas:

Performance
Team Development/Orientation
Interpersonal Skills
Technical Competence
Communications Skills
Problem Solving Skills
Priority Setting/Organization
Flexibility & Adaptability

The TLSI has a sound research foundation, using data from Team Manager Development Centers over a 10-year period and trial tests with numerous client companies. Dr. Paul Marciano, who developed this leadership assessment instrument, has given great care to ensure the instrument measures valid behavioral requirements of team leadership and that it is psychometrically sound.

The TLSI has many uses: for intermittent leadership skills feedback; for developmental coaching and mentoring with current or potential leaders; to pinpoint skills requirements and set stretch objectives; to supplement traditional appraisal tools.

The TLSI can be completed by different people. In addition to the team leader's direct manager, others can complete this team leader assessment and offer feedback. The team leader can complete it as a self-assessment. There is also merit in receiving feedback from peers and subordinates whose daily interactions have a great impact on the team leader (360° feedback).

The TLSI is simple to administer. The team leadership areas are measured using 40 brief statements. The on-line instrument takes about 15 minutes to complete. Results are computed in our office and a profile is promptly returned to you (5 business days max, depending on the version you select).

The TLSI is cost effective. An on-line package of 10 surveys is only $40. Sample the TLSI by doing a free self-assessment.

The TLSI easily meets the team leader’s need for more specific and ongoing feedback. And it meets the manager’s (and colleagues’) need for a simple tool to give specific feedback on a more frequent basis.
