Denison Leadership Development Survey:

After completing the Denison Organizational Culture Survey, several of our clients requested an instrument that could be used to provide feedback on how an individual's specific management practices can impact bottom-line organizational performance. Aviat partnered with Dr. Denison to develop the Denison Leadership Development Survey to help managers and leaders understand their role in creating a high-performance culture.

The Denison Leadership Development Survey measures and compares specific aspects of an individual manager's leadership skills and practices to other higher and lower-performing leaders. It compares an individual manager's self-perception with that of his/her co-workers using confidential 360° feedback. The survey and Summary Report are written in easily understood business terms, making it a powerful tool for leadership development.

The Denison Leadership Development Survey helps managers and leaders:

  • identify specific areas of individual strength and weakness, and establish an action plan for individual development
  • learn how particular management skills and practices impact leadership performance
  • develop leadership skills necessary to adapt to a changing environment

Denison Leadership Model:

The circular profile displays the four predictive culture traits identified in Dr. Denison's research and links three leadership skills to each. It provides a powerful graphic representation of an individual's leadership profile. Results are presented using the Denison Leadership Model profile which displays scores in quartiles that compare an individual's score with that of higher and lower-performing leaders in Dr. Denison's research. Third and fourth quartile scores are associated with higher-performing leaders.
