Are We Making Progress as Leaders?—the companion piece to Are We Making Progress?— is a questionnaire specifically designed for senior leadership teams in organizations dedicated to performance excellence. (The companion piece, Are We Making Progress?, is suitable for distribution to your employees, managers, and supervisors.)

Deploying your organization's strategy can be much more difficult than developing it. This easy-to-use questionnaire can help you assess how your organization is performing and learn what can be improved. Based on the Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence, the questionnaire will help you to focus your improvement and communication efforts on areas needing the most attention from your senior leaders.

In 2004, 60 Examiners used the Are We Making Progress as Leaders? questionnaire to assess their perceptions about the organizations they lead. The results posted here can be used as valuable comparative data for any organization to determine how it compares to others in determining progress in performance excellence. These results constitute a national database that can reveal how your leaders’ perceptions compare with the perceptions of other organizations in all sectors—business, education, health care, and nonprofit—and can help your organization set priorities for improvement.
