Overview
A focused 12-question leadership feedback survey built on the foundational work of Marshall Goldsmith, whose stakeholder-centered coaching approach proved that leaders improve most when they receive specific, behavioral feedback from the people who work closest with them — and follow up on it consistently. This survey distills the most validated leadership competencies from Goldsmith's framework, CCL (Center for Creative Leadership), and Zenger Folkman's research into a single, repeatable instrument. Designed for leaders at any level who want honest, development-focused feedback without the overhead of a full 360.
