Leadership development resources for children’s centre staff: Children’s centre leaders questionnaire

Abstract

This questionnaire is designed to be completed by the centre leader. There are two types of questionnaire: one designed for completion by the centre leader (this one), and the other for completion by two or three other members of the senior leadership team (SLT). This centre leader questionnaire asks the leader to respond to statements reflecting his or her leadership responsibilities within the centre. The second questionnaire asks other leadership staff to respond based on their views of their own leadership ability, as well as that of the collective SLT (which includes the centre leader). The questionnaires will take approximately 30 minutes to complete and should initially be filled out individually. It is important to ensure that the appropriate questionnaires are filled out by the correct staff (ie, that centre leaders fill out their version of the questionnaire). To answer each question, staff are asked to circle a rating from 1-6 (from disagree to agree) in response to a series of statements about the children’s centre.
