One of my favorite leadership metrics to look at is how a leaders direct reports rate them on common employee engagement surveys. Most of these surveys provide Team and Direct Report aggregate scores. I like to focus those items that are directly in the leaders control on how the manage and lead their direct reports.
No, but they are a good indicator. We would usually have 4 to 5 items directly tied to manager behavior - My manager does xyz... they are usually around 1:1s, feedback, development, and getting things done. Yes, there are open ended comments but none are written specifically addressed to the leader.

You’ll never see perfect scores there either. Does your survey come with specific feedback or just scores, David?
