Managers with greater awareness of their own behavior - and of how
they are perceived by others - are more effective in leading and
managing others. Recent research shows that people who understand how
they are viewed by others are seen as better leaders, better colleagues,
and better performers; they also receive more promotions and higher
pay.
The Leadership Profile Survey in Columbia Business School’s LEAD:
People, Teams, and Organizations course (B6500) provides students with
feedback on how their perceptions of themselves line up with others’
perceptions of them. In this report, you’ll find information on your
self rating as well as other peoples’ ratings of you and your classmates
across nine domains: Perspective-Taking, Decision-Making, Motivation and
Vision, Persuasion and Communication, Negotiation and Cooperation,
Teamwork and Team Leadership, Culture and Structure, Networks and
Diversity, and Organizational Change.
Within each domain, respondents rated how frequently you engage in
five behaviors. Some of these behaviors are consistent with expert views
on good leadership (e.g., “You are able to persuade other people and
change their opinions”). Other behaviors are generally inconsistent with
good leadership (e.g., “You overanalyze decisions, spending too much
time thinking rather than acting”).
Respondents rated these 45 behaviors on a scale ranging from “Never” to
“Sometimes” to “Always.” The scale was scored in an ascending fashion
(Never = 1, Sometimes = 4, Always = 7).
The report begins with two overview charts. The first compares how
you rated yourself with how others (both school and work raters) rated
you. A desirable pattern is to be rated highly in most or all domains
and to have close agreement in how you see yourself and how others see
you. In most cases, this chart highlights that you and your raters
generally see you as better in some domains than others. Moreover, this
chart often identifies an area or areas in which your perception of
yourself departs from others’ perceptions of you.
The second overview compares others’ ratings of you with all other
people’s ratings of your classmates. This chart gives a sense of how
your strengths compare to your peers at Columbia Business School.
These overviews give a general portrait, averaging across all five
specific behaviors within a domain and averaging across both school and
work raters. It’s important to look more closely at the details provided
in the subsequent pages to identify which specific behaviors signal
strengths or areas for improvement and which ones show the largest gaps
between your perceptions of yourself and others’ perceptions of
you.
The Leadership Profile Feedback Report concludes with qualitative
comments. First, you will see raters’ views of your strengths. Then, you
will see comments showing areas where raters thought you could improve.
Finally, you will see advice raters wanted to share with you.
Everyone’s feedback tells a different story. For some, the overview
charts reflect the crucial message. For others, one or two specific
behaviors emerge as the focus. For others still, the qualitative
comments highlight areas for improvement. We recommend moving back and
forth between each of these sources of information, looking for common
themes. We also stress the importance of this report not as the final or
definitive verdict, but as the start of a process which includes careful
analysis and the collection of more feedback.
What do you believe about yourself… and what do others believe about you? The chart below compares your own ratings for yourself in various leadership domains with the ratings of all those who provided feedback for you.
How do the ways in which you were rated compare to the ways that your classmates were rated? The chart below compares the ratings of all those who provided feedback for you with the average feedback for all the students in the class.

Classmates indicated their views about your strengths as a colleague and a leader:
Sebastian is always aware of creating a collaborative environment when working with others, seeks for efficiency but also worries about getting everyone involved
Sebastian is a great team player who is invested the development of his colleagues. Also, Sebastian has a very sharp rational thinking.
Sebastian is a very smart individual with high emotional intelligence, and although he is a bit quiet sometimes, always speaks up to contribute in a positive way when necessary.
He’s collaborative and is eager to be a part of team activities
Sebastian is a leader who inspires trust and calm, two fundamental characteristics for guiding and motivating a team.
Coworkers indicated their views about your strengths as a colleague and a leader:
From my experience working as a peer with Sebas, his biggest strength is the way he handles debates. From the onset, he generally introduces a very useful, logical structure to drive the discussion forward. He’s very level-headed and rational, which makes it safe and easy for anyone to raise difficult points and speak their mind. It is clear that he incorporates other people’s points of view quickly while keeping his stance on things he’s confident about. He also always makes sure to point out and challenge one’s underlying assumptions.
Another of his strengths is his reliability and trustworthiness. When he takes on a task, it is always safe to assume he’ll execute it perfectly, very quickly, and without compromising quality.
Sebastian does a great job of recognizing the main motivations, concerns, and decision drivers for colleagues and clients. He communicates very well in teams, keeping everyone in the loop and ensuring proper flow of information. He is a strong leader, and is very mindful of sustainability.
Given my extensive work with Sebastian, I identified three core strengths 1. He is a good mentor in guiding more junior members while still being approachable. 2. He has a strong understanding of 80/20 which helps him and people around him to work more efficiently and not spend time doing stuff that doesn’t add value 3. He is a very positive person, which always help to maintain high moral and motivation
Sebastian is a great listener, able to effectively take in the inputs and comments from his team and synthesize a superior solution.
Great listener - He always goes the extra mile to listen to your thoughts and concerns. Also, as a great listener, he is great at understanding what the other person could develop, and delivers the feedback extremely effectively.
’- Great business sense - Manages own work process with minimal supervision - Solid analytical skills - Strong developing professional business relationships - Solid communication skills (clear and concise messages) - Team player
Classmates indicated their views about areas where you could improve:
Sebastian sometimes thinks faster than his peers, so one thing he can work on is checking to see if everyone is following his mind and helping others keep up with the reasoning he uses
n.a.
Some projects are harder to get excited about than others, and Sebastian could do a bit better job of at least trying to show some enthusiasm while working on such projects.
He lacks interest sometimes thereby discouraging others and not putting his opinion on the table
Sebastian could work on his communicational skills.
Coworkers indicated their views about areas where you could improve:
I sometimes felt that he could be more confident in his own ideas and take more initiative in pursuing them, instead of having to discuss them first.
No major areas that need work. Sebastian sometimes hesitates to make decisions with limited information or limited time, which can be useful in some contexts
I think he has one(two) weaknesses 1. He is not the most structured leader I’ve known 2. He does not now how to win at curve fever
I think Sebastian could work on his ability as a leader to convince others on his ideas and objectives, since he usually has great ones.
Stronger conviction when discussing (assertiveness). Sometimes, Sebastián could be more assertive when speaking, to make his point more aggressively understood within the conversation
’- Ensure he finds ways to continue motivated and engaged - Proactivity taking more on (Sebastian is very capable!)
Classmates offered advice about your leadership/managerial behavior:
Create quick check-in rituals with the team while developing your rationales
n.a.
Perhaps make the material more relatable to that of interest.
Be more open and show interest uniformly and not only based on what one can gain
Raise up his voice when he disagrees with something.
Coworkers offered advice about your leadership/managerial behavior:
A little more bias towards taking action and confidence in his own ideas.
Trust your instincts when there is nothing else to rely on
I think he has to continue with the good work!
Don’t be afraid to push your ideas forward more often when challenged, or challenge your counterpart to explain why their idea is superior
You, very effectively, have and use a pull influence as a leader. Sometimes, when you want to make a more strong point (towards the push side), it could not be interpreted as powerful if you do it with similar tone of voice - leverage the “difference” between your quiet self with your “assertive” self to make it more powerful!
’- Taking more on will continue to challenge him intellectually - Sebastian is an extrovert. I would recommend he finds ways to ensure he satisfies this need as this can impact his motivation when in a virtual setting
Based on thousands of students’ experiences with the Leadership
Profile Feedback Report, we have identified areas where many students
want and benefit from additional feedback. Part Two includes your own
and your raters’ responses in these areas, building on the initial
report in ways that are both more specific and more general.
This report begins with two important specific domains: Listening and
Assertiveness. In each domain, the results zero in on concrete
behaviors, such as “When someone else is speaking, you interrupt and/or
show impatience” and “You speak up and share your view when it is
appropriate.”
There are five behaviors within each domain. Respondents rated these
behaviors on the same seven-point scale used in Part One of the
Leadership Profile report, ranging from “Never” to “Sometimes” to
“Always.” The scale was scored in an ascending fashion (Never = 1,
Sometimes = 4, Always = 7).
For most students, feedback in these specific domains gives them more
detail for understanding the feedback in the initial report. For
instance, someone who had a low score on the item “You consider the
viewpoints of other parties involved in a conflict” in the initial
report might find additional evidence in this report on why others might
believe that, consulting items such as “Your assertiveness goes too far
at times” (Assertiveness) and “You listen effectively to criticism and
alternative points of view” (Listening).
The specific domain results are presented in a format similar to that
used in Part One. For each domain, a bar chart shows averages for self
ratings, as well as averages for your school and work raters. Additional
bars show the average ratings of your peers at Columbia Business School
in each domain. Following each bar chart is a set of tabular results,
indicating averages and ranges for each individual item.
The report concludes with feedback on general impressions, including
dimensions such as agreeableness and extraversion. Many students find it
helpful to understand how they are seen in general, not just in terms of
leadership behaviors. These results often help students put their other
feedback in context and better understand how they come across to
others. More details on these dimensions and how to interpret the
feedback are provided later in this report.
The results contained in this report are a companion to the results in
Part One of the Leadership Profile Feedback Report. In some cases, you
may have lingering questions from Part One that are addressed in Part
Two. Part Two also often raises questions that lead students back to
Part One looking for other connections.
It’s often helpful to look for links between the different levels of
feedback. For instance, how are the specific behaviors reported here
linked to leadership domains, such as Influencing Others or Motivating
Others, in Part One? And how do those leadership perceptions relate to
the general impressions people have of you in terms of Openness,
Extraversion, and so on?
There is no single path for making these connections, but a thorough
review of Parts One and Two often leads students to meaningful
connections and new insights about how they are seen by others and why
those perceptions emerge.
Listening concerns your ability to get others to
open up, share information, and feel that they have been heard.
Each of the following statements was rated on a 1 (Never) to
7 (Always) scale by you and your raters (about you). For
reverse-scored items, 1 denotes Always and 7 denotes
Never.

Others do not always see us the way we see ourselves, especially in
their first impressions. In this feedback report, we aren’t concerned
with the question of which impression (yours or theirs) is right or
wrong. Instead, we encourage you to focus on the differences between
your ratings of yourself and others’ general impressions of you. By
understanding how others generally see you, and how that differs from
how you see yourself, you can think about the consequences of the
impression you make on others and how that fits with your personal
goals.
This feedback is based on a model of five basic dimensions of
impressions, described below. Of course, these domains don’t capture
your full personality, but they gauge important ways in which
impressions differ.
When it comes to leadership, the goal is not necessarily to receive a
high score on any given dimension. Different kinds of impressions can be
successful, but you should strive to be aware of how people perceive
you.
Below, you’ll find the specific questions that underlie these results.
You can also see in greater detail where your self ratings
converge with or depart from others’ impressions of you. Look
for connections between this feedback on people’s general impressions of
you and the feedback you received on specific leadership behaviors.
These impression results are most meaningful when seen as part of a
larger pattern of results including your other feedback.
Note: each of these dimensions was gauged with two questions, as
shown below. The score for the second question in each pair was reversed
and averaged with the score for the first question to yield the overall
scores shown here.
Extraversion: Whether you’re seen as outgoing and
enthusiastic, or reserved
Agreeableness: Whether you’re seen as warm or
quarrelesome
Conscientiousness: Whether you’re seen as dependable or
careless
Stability: Whether you’re seen as stable and calm or
easily upset
Openness: Whether you’re seen as open to new things or
conventional
