Psychometric & 360 Assessment
Multifactor Leadership
Questionnaire (MLQ)
The benchmark 360° measure of the Full Range Leadership model. The MLQ assesses the behaviours a leader displays and the outcomes those behaviours produce — a clear, evidence-based picture of real leadership impact.
How leadership behaviour creates impact
Leaders complete a self-assessment while colleagues, managers, and direct reports provide confidential feedback. The MLQ measures behaviours across the Full Range Leadership model — and the outcomes those behaviours create — giving leaders an honest, well-rounded view of how they lead.
The Full Range Leadership model
The MLQ measures leadership across a complete spectrum of behaviour, from the most inspiring to the most disengaged.
Transformational
Inspiring, motivating, and developing others — the behaviours that lift performance and build commitment.
Transactional
Clarifying expectations and rewarding performance — the structure that keeps delivery clear and on track.
Passive / avoidant
Leadership that is reactive or largely absent — the patterns that quietly erode effectiveness and trust.
The outcomes it measures
Beyond behaviour, the MLQ captures the outcomes great leadership produces — the proof that style translates into results.
Extra effort
How far a leader inspires people to go beyond what is simply required of them.
Effectiveness
How effective the leader is judged to be in meeting the needs of the team and organisation.
Satisfaction
How satisfied people are with the leader's approach and the way they are led.
Key features
The MLQ is built to give leaders a benchmark, multi-rater view of how they lead and the difference it makes.
