Items and Scales
The behavioral items on the MLP fall into four domains which, together, contain sixteen scales:
|
LEADERSHIP PATTERNS |
General Leadership, Informational Leadership, Competitional Leadership, Relational Leadership |
|
PERSONAL RESOURCES |
Conceptual Thinking, Emotional Resilience, Drive and Motivation |
|
INTERPERSONAL BEHAVIOR |
People Orientation, Assertive Social Presence |
|
SPECIFIC COMPETENCIES |
Delegation, Decision Making, Project Management, Meeting Faciliation, Written Communication, Oral Communication, Listening Skills |
Time Requirements and Rating Format
Each MLP rating form takes about ten minutes to complete. The rater is asked to indicate, anonymously on a seven-point scale, how frequently the ratee demonstrates each specific behavior. Every MLP packet contains optical scanning forms for as many as five supervisors, seven peers, and seven subordinates. There is also a self-rating form so that perceptions of self may be compared to perceptions by others.
