District Executive Leadership Competency Assessment
Gathers 360-style feedback on how a District Executive (DE) or equivalent frontline sales leader performs across core competencies — coaching, recruiting, pipeline discipline, accountability, and culture. Built for RevOps and sales leadership teams; the AI follow-up interview digs into the one lowest-rated competency to surface concrete behavior, not just a score.

Identify the competency this respondent rated lowest and ask for a specific, recent example of that behavior in action — what happened, what the District Executive did or didn't do, and what impact it had on the team or a deal. Probe what 'better' would concretely look like from this respondent's view, and if they rated everything highly, ask what single change would still make the biggest difference.

How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Uses a multi-method design — matrix competency ratings, an opinion scale for overall effectiveness, a ranking exercise, and a MaxDiff prioritization of coaching investment — instead of a single rating grid.
- The AI follow-up interview automatically identifies whichever competency the respondent rated lowest and asks for a specific, recent example, turning a number into a concrete behavioral story without manual follow-up.
- Pairs the quantitative ratings with a targeted open-ended prompt (what the DE should start/stop/continue) so leadership gets both scores and actionable text feedback in one flow.
- Includes context questions on relationship to the DE, tenure in role, team size, and region, so RevOps can segment results — all wrapped in a friendly intro/outro chat message rather than a bare form.
QuestionPro
Leadership Evaluation Survey Template + Sample QuestionnaireA static leadership evaluation questionnaire with sample questions covering general leadership competencies. It's built as a fielding-ready template but is generic rather than tailored to a frontline sales leadership role like a District Executive. Good for a quick baseline survey, not for probing why a rating was low.
What it does well
- Provides a ready-made sample questionnaire so teams can launch quickly without writing questions from scratch
- Backed by an established survey platform with broad question-type and reporting support
- Covers general leadership competency areas applicable across roles
Where it falls short
- No adaptive follow-up questioning — every respondent sees the same fixed question set regardless of how they rate the leader
- No visible mechanism to automatically surface a specific behavioral example tied to a respondent's lowest rating
- Not tailored to sales-specific competencies like pipeline discipline or recruiting
SurveySparrow
Leadership Skills Assessment Questionnaire | Leadership Traits & StyleA conversational-style leadership skills assessment focused on traits and leadership style rather than sales-team-specific competencies. It's a fielding-ready template with a chat-like question flow, but the questions themselves are static and generic across industries. No sales leadership focus (coaching, recruiting, pipeline discipline) is evident.
What it does well
- Conversational one-question-at-a-time UI that can feel more engaging than a traditional form
- Framed around leadership traits and style, useful for general people-manager assessments
- Fielding-ready template that can be deployed without heavy customization
Where it falls short
- Static question flow with no adaptive AI probing into a respondent's specific low ratings
- No published scoring methodology or automated quality scoring of open-ended responses
- Not built around frontline sales leadership competencies like recruiting, pipeline discipline, or accountability
