A. What you will find in this MML Profile:
Congratulations!
By answering the MML Profile questions, you have completed the first step of the Monday Morning Leadership Profile. The second step is interpreting the Feedback and making a Personal Commitment to action and excellence.
The MML Profile presents a picture of how you and your colleagues perceive your Leadership abilities and behaviors. It is a picture of “how you show up” as a leader. You now have a great resource to help you become even more effective. An essential step on the path of personal growth is that you first become self-aware – aware of both your strengths to build-upon and your challenges – as you and others see you.
The MML Profile consists of two other sections in addition to this one:
B. The Feedback:
I. Detail Chapter Results
Shows the scores for each question by Chapter and a Chapter average score. Your self-appraisal is shown separate from all others.
II. Chapter Roll-ups
Shows aggregated (averages) scores for each set of Chapter questions from all respondents – with your self-appraisal separate from all others
III. Specific Comments
Lists all the specific comments made by your colleagues – organized by Strengths and Challenges
IV. Strengths and Opportunities
This section ranks the 5 highest and 5 lowest rated questions as others see it.
V. Gaps
This section presents any Gaps in your results - questions that had the biggest difference between your rating and the average of all others.
C. Interpreting the Feedback and Personal Commitment
I. Gaps or Differences
Reflective questions to enable you to be more aware of differences between how you see yourself and others experience you.
II. Strengths – Votes of Confidence
Reflective questions to enable you to be more aware of your strengths.
III. Challenges – Perceptions and Realities
Reflective questions to enable you to be more aware of your challenges.
IV. Personal Commitment for Growth
A planning worksheet to enable you to be even more effective.
Next Steps:
We recommend that you first print out the MML Profile in its entirety. Take some time to reflect on the feedback – what does it mean and what have you learned about yourself. Then take the time to determine what you can do to be more effective – before you set your Personal Commitment to action and excellence.
Tip: Resist any urges to challenge the results – good or bad. Accept the results for what they are – personal perceptions and a reflection of the way you show up and your colleagues have experienced you. It is not advisable to seek out and challenge your colleagues. They have your best interests at heart to enable you to learn and become a better leader.
Once you have made your Personal Commitment, it is good practice to personally thank your colleagues for their valuable feedback. You may also want to tell them what you will do about it - your personal commitments.
It is also good practice to take make a progress check – say 6 to 9 months from now – with another MML Profile to see if how you are being more effective.
B. The Feedback:
The MML Profile presents a picture of how you and your colleagues perceive your Leadership abilities and behaviors. In this section the feedback is presented in Bar charts, separating your self-appraisal scores from the average of all others.
The Scoring:
Recall the scoring system is on a 1 to 5 scale, i.e.:
1 = Strongly disagree (never)
2 = Disagree (seldom)
3 = Neutral (neither Agree or Disagree, sometimes)
4 = Agree (usually, often)
5 = Strongly Agree (always)
Low scores ( below a 1.5) indicate Leadership challenge areas and high scores (above 3.5) indicate your Leadership strengths.
Your individual scores are compared to the average score of all others. For example, if 8 people other than yourself responded, then the Others Score would be the sum of the 8 scores (say a total of 28) divided by 8 (or 3.5) – excluding your score.
Focus on themes – beyond the individual questions and results that clarify and confirm:
- Your strengths or opportunities to build on and leverage
- Your challenges or opportunities for improvement
- Areas where there are significant differences or gaps between how you see yourself and how others see you – your blind spots.

V. Gaps
This section presents any Gaps in your results - questions that had the biggest difference between your rating and the average of all others. A Gap can occur two ways. If your rating is higher than the average of all others’ ratings - something you think you do well but other think differently. On the other hand, you might also rate yourself lower than others rate you on a particular question. This is considered a "hidden skill" - others see you stronger than you see yourself.
Look at the "Gap" column in the table below. Negative numbers indicate ratings of others that are lower than your rating. Positive numbers indicate ratings of others that are higher than your rating.

D. Interpreting the Feedback and Personal Commitment
At this stage you have now – all lot of data!! Some of it may be surprising
Focus on themes – beyond the individual question scores and “Specific Comments” that clarify and confirm:
- Your strengths or opportunities to build on and leverage
- Your challenges or opportunities for improvement
- Areas where there are significant differences or gaps between how you see yourself and how others see you – your blind spots.
Look for common threads or core issues or what resonates with you. Put things in perspective - consider the situations or examples of how you have demonstrated your Leadership capabilities.
This section is divided into four parts:
I. Gaps or Differences
II. Strengths – Votes of Confidence
III. Challenges – Perceptions and Realities
IV. Personal Commitment for Growth
I. Gaps or Differences
Here are some reflective questions to enable you to be more aware of “blind spots” or differences between how you see yourself and others experience your Leadership style and behaviors.
i. Based on the Feedback, what, if any are the 3 largest differences between how you see yourself and others see you? Are there any surprises?
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
ii. Why do you think the differences occurred?
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
II. Strengths – Votes of Confidence
Here are some reflective questions to enable you to be more aware of your strengths – how you see yourself and how others experience your Leadership style and behaviors. It is important to know your strengths so you can build on them to continue and be more effective Leader.
i. Based on the Feedback what are your major strengths (list the top 2 or 3)?
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
ii. In what circumstances or situations do your strengths most occur? How can knowing your strengths help you be a better leader?
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
III. Challenges – Perceptions and Realities
Reflective questions to enable you to be more aware of your challenges – how you see yourself and how others experience your Leadership style and behaviors. It is important to be aware of your challenges as opportunities for personal growth and to be a more effective Leader.
i. Based on the Feedback what are your major challenges (list the top 2 or 3)?
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
ii. In what circumstances or situations do your challenges most occur? How can knowing your challenges help you be a better leader?
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
IV. Personal Commitment for Growth
Having reflected on your strengths and challenges as a Leader, it is time to make a personal commitment to growth – to be an even more effective Leader.
Some Suggestions:
It is important to recognize that leveraging and building on strengths is as important as taking action to improve weaknesses. It is also important to recognize that:
- Practically, you can only work on a few things at any one time – pick those most critical to your situation
- Applying your commitments to a specific work activity, initiative or project can be very powerful.
- Your commitments may be in the way you act, or formal courses or learning experiences or seeking coaching and feedback from others.
- It takes time for others to see results – usually 6 to 9 months
Phrase your commitment positively. Make sure it is “observable” by others – say a practical behavior or action with measurable results – and not simply an “I’ll try to” or a thought or aspiration. Also bind your commitment with a time frame - i.e., when will you do it in the next 3 months!
ii. Given your reflections and insights what are 2 or 3 commitments you will make to become a more effective Leader?
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
iii. For each Commitment how will you know you have been successful – what results do you expect to achieve?
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
iv. For each commitment, what barriers or enablers to success to you anticipate and how will you deal with them? Are there people who can help you?
