Leadership skills audit

Audit leadership skills. Use the prompts below as a working document, then save or print your answers.

Score evidence, not confidence. A skill without a recent example is a development priority.

Working prompts

1. Target role and its actual selection criteria
   
2. People leadership: example and feedback
   
3. Commercial judgement: one decision and result
   
4. Communication: audience and outcome
   
5. Risk and governance: one trade-off you handled
   
6. Top two gaps and the assignment that will close each
   

Check before you act

Which entry is based on an assumption? What additional evidence would change your decision? Who can give you a useful challenge rather than simply agree?
