Campbell Leadership Descriptor

Evaluate your leadership strengths, understand your style, and create a personalized action plan for growth.

Overview

Develop the leadership characteristics to turn ordinary leadership skills into transformational leadership skills. Transformational leaders motivate others, encourage innovation, build strong relationships with others, improve performance, and more.

The Campbell Leadership Descriptor self-assessment helps individuals identify transformational leadership characteristics. By doing so, participants will evaluate their leadership strengths and create an action plan for improving their leadership skills. Get started today, gain a deeper understanding of your leadership style, and develop a personalized plan for growth.

How It Works

The Campbell Leadership Descriptor is a self-scoring questionnaire containing 40 adjectives. Each is focused on specific transformational leadership characteristics and is grouped into nine significant components.

After you complete and score the descriptor, you will use the 40 attributes to compare yourself to both a "good" leader and a "poor" leader you have known. The resulting profile will help you identify your strengths and weaknesses and define actions to be a more successful leader.

Learning Outcomes

Learn what makes a successful leader, how to identify your strengths and weaknesses, and create a strategic plan for improving your leadership skills. By the end of this assessment, participants will do the following:

  • Understand the significant components of leadership
  • Identify the characteristics of a successful leader
  • Evaluate leadership strengths and weaknesses by comparing results to "good" and "poor" leaders
  • Develop a personal action plan for improving leadership skills
  • Gain valuable insights into your leadership potential

Uses and Applications

The Campbell Leadership Descriptor helps participants understand, identify, and apply the Six Major Task Components of Organizational Leadership and Three Personal Components of Organizational Leadership to create a profile of transformational leadership characteristics to develop.

The Six Major Task Components of Organizational Leadership

  1. Vision: Establish the general tone and direction of the organization.
  2. Management: Set specific goals and focus organizational resources on achieving them.
  3. Empowerment: Select and develop direct reports who are committed to the organization’s goals.
  4. Diplomacy: Forge coalitions with important internal and external constituencies: peers, superiors, direct reports, potential organizational allies, and other important outside decision-makers.
  5. Feedback: Observe and listen carefully to clients, customers, voters, employees, students, and team members, and share the resulting information in a manner that those affected see as beneficial.
  6. Entrepreneurialism: Find future opportunities, including increased revenues, expanded markets, or a higher probability of desirable outcomes, such as international peace, a healthier environment, or the creation of beauty, through mechanisms such as new projects, programs, or policies.

The Three Personal Components of Organizational Leadership

  1. Personal Style: By personal example, set an overall organizational tone of competence, optimism, integrity, and inspiration.
  2. Personal Energy: Live a disciplined, wholesome lifestyle that provides the energy and durability to handle the physical demands of leadership, long hours, stressful decisions, and conflict.
  3. Multicultural Awareness: Be experienced and comfortable working with individuals and managing organizations across different geographic, demographic, and cultural borders.
