Calculate Your Results


Step 1: Calculate your overall score and read analysis below. Calculation:

Total score from page 1: _____ ÷ 8 = Overall Average Score: _____

A score of 5 = Congratulations! You demonstrate skills associated with a skilled transitional leader. Keep
up the great work!

4.0 – 4.9 = You are well on your way to becoming a transitional leader. Look at those areas that you
scored a 3 or less and develop a plan to improve.

3.0 – 3.9 = You have the potential to be a successful transitional leader, but you must decide if that is
your goal. If so, look for a mentor from among the leaders around you and develop an action plan.

2.0 – 2.9 = Your honest analysis indicates that you are aware of the opportunities you have to improve
as a leader. Consider your role models; are they helping you to improve?

1.9 or less = You may be new to your role, or have gotten stuck in a transactional mode. To be a truly
successful leader you will need to learn new skills. Work with your own leader to develop an action
plan.

Step 2: Drill down further by calculating your domain scores as indicated in each box.
