The Boss Trait Assessment Tool

Welcome to the Boss Traits Assessment Tool, developed in support of the book Bad Bosses Ruin Lives: The Building Blocks to Being a Great Boss, written by Debra Corey & Ken Corey. The purpose is to help you become aware of your boss traits, assessing you against the 10 types of bad bosses covered in the book so that you can address and action those requiring improvement.

You will answer a series of questions that relate to how you act and behave as a boss. For each, you will be be asked to select one of the following responses:

  • Always — I always act and behave in this way, there are no exceptions.
  • Often — I often act and behave in this way, but not all of the time.
  • Sometimes — From time to time I act and behave in this way.
  • Rarely — I rarely act and behave in this way.
  • Never — I never act and behave in this way.
