This template is designed to be used in conjunction with the webinar Develop Leadership - Deliver Leaders! Go to each of the tabs (Vision & Values, Direction, Persuasion, Support, Development, Appreciation) and assign a value of 0 (lowest) to 5 (highest) to the questions, before and after a leadership growing event, such as a project. The Summary tab will display the overall ratings for each dimension, along with a graph of the results. Based on Toastmasters' High Performance Leadership workbook.
Alignment is always an important issue - and not just on a business level. Organizational interests and personal interests must be aligned to really make things happen.

This document is intended to help provide more detailed data for lessons learned or project post-mortem exercises that can be compared with previous projects over time. It is inspired by the article A More Scientific Approach to Lessons Learned?
