3.2.1 Collaborative Leadership Self-Assessment Tools (CLSAT)

Purpose 

When combined, the self-assessment questions across these six questionnaires provide a behavioral perspective on successful collaborative leaders, aiding individuals in assessing their personal collaborative leadership capacity. These tools are designed to help individuals focus on and assess key behaviors of effective collaborative leaders, including assessing the environment, creating clarity through vision and mobilization, building trust, sharing power and influence, developing people, and regularly engaging in self-reflection. The questionnaires encourage personal reflection on behaviors related to specific collaborative practices.

The CLSAT can be used independently to evaluate collaborative leadership capacity or as part of courses or workshops to identify strengths and areas for growth and development. According to the creator, results can guide individuals, facilitators, trainers, and supervisors in selecting specific modules from the Collaborative Leadership Learning Modules: A Comprehensive Series. These modules are intended to help increase understanding of collaborative concepts and enhance collaborative leadership skills.

Description 

Developed by the University of Washington School of Public Health and Community Medicine with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, each instrument contains 10 or 11 items.
