Skills-based leadership theory is predicated on the idea that there are skills anyone can learn that can enhance their leadership abilities. The leadership skills questionnaire is designed to measure three broad types of leadership skills: administrative, interpersonal, and conceptual. By comparing the differences between your scores, you can determine where you have leadership strengths and where you have leadership weaknesses.

Instructions: This quiz contains questions about different styles of leadership skills. Indicate how often each statement is true of your own behavior.
