Authentic Leadership Questionnaire
Authors: Bruce J. Avolio, William L. Gardner, & Fred O. Walumbwa
The Authentic Leadership Questionnaire (ALQ) is designed to measure the components that comprise Authentic Leadership.
The ALQ scales address the following questions:
- Self Awareness: To what degree is the leader aware of his or her strengths, limitations, how others see him or her and how the leader impacts others?
- Transparency: To what degree does the leader reinforce a level of openness with others that provides them with an opportunity to be forthcoming with their ideas, challenges and opinions?
- Ethical/Moral: To what degree does the leader set a high standard for moral and ethical conduct?
- Balanced Processing: To what degree does the leader solicit sufficient opinions and viewpoints prior to making important decisions?
