Competing Values Competency Questionnaire The Competing Values Competency Questionnaire is a tool to help you assess your development as a managerial leader with respect to the four quadrants of the competing values framework.* This questionnaire consists of 100 questions related to skills that managerial leaders need to meet the challenges of complexity, ambiguity, and paradox that characterize the world today. For each item, indicate how often you have successfully engaged in the activity. Rate yourself on the following 7 point scale: Never | Very Seldom | Seldom | Occasionally | Frequently | Very Frequently | Almost Always | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | It is important to note that this questionnaire is not designed to provide a final evaluation of your ability as a managerial leader. It is designed to provide a “snap-shot” profile, based on your current experience, strengths, and weaknesses. You then can use the profile to create a personal development plan based on your individual needs and interests. Some items refer to general activities that you may do regularly, such as recognizing people’s feelings. Others items refer to more specific activities and tools that you may not have had any experience with yet, such as coaching people on career issues or preparing a Gantt chart. If you have not had a chance to engage in the activity specified or are unfamiliar with the tool or technique mentioned, you should give that item a rating of 1 – Never.
