Quick Prioritisation Tool (QPT)

The Quick Prioritisation Tool is a self-assessment survey which provides participants with a tailored leadership development report once completed. It enables participants to rate their own effectiveness and identify their development priorities. It can be used by any leader or aspiring leader to plan their development in their current role or prepare for a future role. The QPT report includes practical development content to drive on the job learning.

The QPT+1 allows any QPT SELF participant to ask a single colleague to complete the QPT survey about them and provide written feedback. The QPT+1 is an ideal way of comparing relative priorities and getting aligned on expectations with a manager, colleague or team member. 

The QPT+1 report provides clear insights into relative priorities from both perspectives, easily identifying mismatched expectations with a powerful Alignment Score. The report picks out the common capabilities that both SELF and OTHER have prioritised, meaning 1:1 development discussions are focused on the things that matter most. Written comments provide valuable context.

The QPT +1 report includes pages on blind spots and hidden strengths, which can be used to build more awareness of specific behaviours, discuss feedback and reflect on leadership impact.

Our QPT SELF report contains 17 pages, including a breakdown of individual leadership development priorities, effectiveness ratings against all 16 My Leadership Strengths capabilities, and a dedicated development section. 

The development section includes practical tips to nurture your strengths, coaching questions to raise awareness and learning exercises to build capability on the job. The development content is tailored to each participant based on their survey responses. The QPT features an action planning tool and a 6 point plan to support participants to apply learning easily.

Yes, the QPT SELF, QPT+1 and the 360 feedback survey have exactly the same item questions. They are based on the My Leadership Strengths capability model, which has 16 capabilities in 4 clusters: Leading Self, Leading Others, Leading Organisation and Leading Results. 

Yes the survey has been designed to work on any desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone. Please note, Internet Explorer is no longer supported by Microsoft so please avoid using this browser. We would recommend using Google Chrome, Safari or Microsoft Edge browsers. 

The QPT SELF provides you with tailored development content based on your own self perceptions. The QPT+1 is a report that compares your Self to another person of your choosing. The QPT+1 comparison report has more detailed insights and includes feedback comments from both Self and Other. 

You can upgrade your QPT SELF to a +1 report directly in your QPT Portal. You will then have the option to generate your QPT+1 report based on your existing SELF survey responses, or complete the SELF survey again. All you need is the email address of the Other person that you would like to get feedback from.

Once both Self and Other have completed the survey, the QPT+1 report is generated and an email link is sent to both parties to view it in the portal.

You can view and use both reports without an accredited coach to debrief them, however we do recommend using the video guides to help you to navigate your report.

We have found that discussing your report with someone, which could be your manager, a trusted colleague or an accredited coach is beneficial in order to make the most of the insights and feedback.

We have designed our reports to be clear and simple, free of jargon and easy to apply. In our experience, a debrief can provide participants with further benefits like providing deeper insights and clarifying development actions.
