Transformational Leadership Questionnaire Report

KEY POINTS All raters are anonymous except for the “manager” Online administration uses passwords to protect

confidentiality (Internet administration) No line or bar graphs are shown unless at least two

raters respond in a rater category (anonymity protection)

The summary feedback report is shared only with the respondent and is intended for development purposes only

The respondent decides how much of the summary feedback report he/she wants to share with others

KEY POINTS Transformational Leadership Questionnaire uses

average scores based on the 1 to 7 frequency scale

The bar graphs summarize self and other perceptions on each of the 20 separate MV360 competencies

The legend to the right of the graph will summarize average score and number of raters for each category

Range of scores for each rater group are graphed

Transformational Leadership Questionnaire

KEY POINTS The “Most Frequent” section and “Least Frequent”

section summarizes those competencies and behaviors that were most frequently/least frequently observed by various rater groups

The number in the first column corresponds to the average score for all raters providing feedback (1 to 7 scale)

The “Most Frequent” should be considered as perceived strengths to leverage and build on

The “Least Frequent” should be considered as possible behaviors to practice more frequently

Transformational Leadership Questionnaire Most Frequent/Least Frequent Section

KEY POINTS Each Transformational Leadership Questionnaire

question is summarized and categorized in its appropriate competency

Average scores across all raters are reported for each competency and question

A statistical measure of rater agreement based on the standard deviation is reported as a percentage—a score less than 50% suggests that the raters providing feedback had enough disagreement to warrant a cautious interpretation of the average score reported (e.g., raters had diverse perceptions and rated the participant quite differently on that question or competency)

Transformational Leadership Questionnaire Behavior Summary

KEY POINTS Comments are randomly listed by all raters who

volunteered to share written perceptions to two open-ended questions (perceptions of strengths and development areas)

Comments are provided verbatim from the online questionnaire—no editing

Some comments are specific, behavioral and constructive—others may be less useful or hard to understand

It is important to focus on themes that emerge, rather than, to dwell on any one individual comment

Transformational Leadership Questionnaire Feedback Report Questions to Consider

Do I understand my Transformational Leadership Questionnaire feedback report?

Does it seem accurate/valid? Is the feedback similar or different for the

different rater groups? Are the areas perceived by others for

development relevant to my current or future position?

Am I motivated to change?
