The Multifactor Leadership
Questionnaire (MLQ)
Developed by Bernard
M. Bass and Bruce J. Avolio the MLQ is the benchmark
measure for Transformational Leadership that is predictive
of positive organizational outcomes.
Are you tired of
Leadership Surveys that ask a bunch of “interesting
questions” that may or may not have anything to do with the
effectiveness of the leader because the questions are not
backed by solid research data?
If so, you consider using
the MLQ. It is the most highly researched and validated
leadership instrument and is predictive of positive
organizational outcomes.

Our approach
is to utilize the MLQ, the gold standard of Transformational
Leadership Assessment, to provide behavior based feedback to
executives, middle managers, first linesupervisors,
leadership teams, and organizations on where they need to
focus their development efforts in very specific concrete
behavioral terms. The MLQ provides specific valid feedback
that can be used as the basis for coaching and for targeting
specific development and training needs.
