Digital Leadership Self-Assessment
Digital leaders play a pivotal role in the success of digital transformation initiatives. But digital leadership demands a certain set of new dimensions―both human traits and technical skills―to meet the challenges of the digital age. Based on years of research, we have developed a reliable scale to measure digital leadership.

This self-assessment will take less than 10 minutes. No matter your title—a CEO, a functional leader, a program manager, or an associate aspiring to be a digital leader—this will help you grow personally and professionally.

You will be pleased with the insights it provides; your digital leadership strengths, weaknesses, and more importantly, how you compare to your peers.
