Leadership Potential Self-Assessment Tool

A Comprehensive Self-Evaluation for Leaders on the Rise

Leadership isn’t about a title—it’s about potential.  Self-awareness is the foundation of growth for aspiring and emerging leaders. The Leadership Potential Self-Assessment Survey from Capacity Building Solutions is a powerful reflection tool designed to help individuals evaluate their readiness for greater leadership responsibility and chart a course for continued development.

Whether used as part of a coaching program, internal leadership pipeline, or personal development journey, this survey provides a clear, structured way to understand leadership strengths and identify areas for growth.


Why This Tool Matters

Too many leadership development programs skip a vital step: asking leaders to look inward first. This tool fills that gap by helping participants:

  • Evaluate how aligned their aspirations are with their current behaviors

  • Reflect on emotional intelligence, strategic thinking, and resilience

  • Identify gaps between where they are and where they want to be

  • Use their results as a launchpad for intentional growth and coaching

It’s a catalyst for clarity—and a conversation starter that supports personal accountability.


What’s Inside

The survey includes 37 thoughtfully crafted statements across ten core leadership domains:

  • Career Goals & Aspirations

  • Self-Evaluation of Leadership Skills

  • Personal Development Planning

  • Strategic Thinking & Vision

  • Decision-Making Abilities

  • Emotional Intelligence

  • Innovation & Creativity

  • Resilience & Adaptability

  • Influence & Persuasion

  • Learning Agility & Openness to Feedback
