Questions to consider for your leadership satisfaction survey

Use these questions as suggestions when editing your copy. Keep the ones that fit your purpose and add any details your process needs.

  • How satisfied are you with communication from leadership?
  • How clearly are important decisions explained?
  • How well does leadership support people affected by workplace changes?
  • What is leadership doing that should continue?
  • What one change would improve trust or understanding?

How to use the responses

The example combines overall satisfaction, a leadership matrix, comments about strengths and improvements, and verbal recommendation choices. Define which leadership group and reporting period you mean so employees are not rating different people or timeframes. Separate communication, transparency, decisions, support, and recognition when interpreting responses. The five verbal recommendation choices should not be labeled as a standard NPS result. Share relevant themes with the responsible leaders and explain follow-up without exposing identifiable comments or making individual judgments from a single rating.

How to customize and share this template

  1. Explain the purpose, who will see responses, and how the team will use the findings.
  2. Keep questions focused on observable work experiences. Use a consistent scale for similar topics and separate comments about the workplace from individual performance decisions.
  3. Review identifying details and settings before sharing. Agree how results will be summarized and when employees will hear about the next steps.

Make it yours with Youform

Ask about the work experience

Edit rating and open-text questions around the subjects your team can review, such as support, workload, communication, or development.

Keep follow-ups relevant

Use conditional logic when a question only makes sense for people who have used a process or had a particular experience.

Review the answers thoughtfully

Organize responses in Youform or Google Sheets. Choose who should have access and summarize findings with care for small groups.

Start free with unlimited forms and responses, subject to fair use. See Youform plans and features for the details.

Frequently asked questions

Should this survey assess senior leadership or a direct manager?
State the intended group explicitly. Use this template for organizational leadership when that is the review's purpose, and use a separate manager-focused questionnaire for day-to-day supervision. Mixing the two can make an overall score difficult to interpret or act on.
Can I customize this form template?
Yes. Choose Use this template to make your own copy in Youform. Edit the questions and colors, review the whole flow, then share a link or embed it on your website. See Youform plans for advanced features.
Can an employee survey be anonymous?
You can design it to avoid collecting names, emails, and other identifying details, then review the relevant Youform settings. Also consider whether team size, job role, or written comments could identify someone before promising anonymity.
What should happen after an employee survey?
Review recurring themes, choose practical changes, and tell employees what you learned and what happens next. Explain what cannot change as well, so the survey does not become a request for feedback with no visible follow-up.
