Interpreting Your Leadership Style Flexibility and Effectiveness Scores
I N T E R P R E TAT I O N
Leadership Style Flexibility Scores
Leadership Style Effectiveness Scores
Leadership style flexibility scores range
from 0–30. The mean score is 17.
To score high on leadership style effectiveness, you must not only show
a high level of flexibility in style selection, but you must also choose
the most appropriate leadership style for the situation. The totals at
the bottom of the style effectiveness columns indicate how often you
chose a poor, fair, good, or excellent answer.
Below 14—Low Flexibility (You tended
to select the same one or two styles for
every situation.)
Above 20—High Flexibility (You tended
to select all four styles more or less
equally.)
Leadership style effectiveness scores range from 20–80. The mean score
is 54.
Below 50—Low Effectiveness (You selected more fair and poor
leadership style choices compared to others taking this assessment.)
Above 58—High Effectiveness (You selected more good and excellent
leadership style choices compared to others taking this assessment.)

Four or more fair and poor answers in one style
indicate that you may not be diagnosing the
person’s development level before choosing a
leadership style.
Review the situations on your LBAII Self to
determine why you may be overusing or
misusing the style(s).
