Our own data · Leadership

10,728 people rated a leadership session. Here is what they said.

Every Leqture session ends with the same three questions: a score out of five for the session, a score out of five for the expert, and an open box for what you took away. This page is every answer we have for leadership sessions: 10,062 scored sessions across 83 different titles, going back to 2019. It is the working file, not a brochure: the sessions that score below our own average are in the table too.

The headline numbers

Four figures for leadership

4.30 out of 5

The average score for a leadership session, over 10,062 ratings. That is 0.01 below the 4.31 we score across all subjects.

4.51 out of 5

The average score for the expert who gave it. The speaker score beats the session score here too, as it does in every subject we run.

86%

Rate it four or five out of five. The other 14% is the part worth reading, and it is in the spread below.

5,992

Wrote out an answer rather than only clicking a score. That is 56% of everyone who responded.

The spread

How the scores are distributed

An average hides the shape. This is the shape, for leadership only.

5 out of 547.1% (4,735)
4 out of 538.5% (3,869)
3 out of 512.2% (1,225)
2 out of 51.9% (195)
1 out of 50.4% (38)
Session by session

Where the average comes from

Every leadership session with at least 25 ratings behind it, best first. Below that number a single bad afternoon moves the average, so those sessions are counted in the figures above but not listed separately.

In their own words

What participants wrote down afterwards

The same survey asks what you took away. These are answers to that question, from leadership sessions, unedited.

I guess we are often our own saboteurs , that why i replied R ..start with listen the voice, then the next will come. Really motivating course thanks!
After Developing a Growth Mindset in the Workplace
Thank you for providing these opportunities.
After Find your Funny - Unlocking your Sense of Humor at Work
That every small step we take to ask for accessibility can go a long way. I loved the example of the car vs wheelchair access to go faster. People with disabilities can make their own decisions about what's best for them.

Great lectur e - thank you!

Method

Where these numbers come from, and what they do not say

The survey goes to every participant when the session ends, and answering it is voluntary and anonymous. A response counts towards leadership when the session it rates carries that subject; a session that sits under two subjects counts under both, which is why the subject totals add up to more than the site total. The scores come from two places, sessions booked on their own and sessions given inside a company learning event, and each response is counted exactly once.

What this is not: a study of leadership training in general. These are the people who sat in a Leqture session, at organisations that had already decided to book one, and we are not a neutral party. Read it as what our own participants reported, because that is what it is. The averages are unweighted, so a session with 900 responses counts 900 times and one with 30 counts 30 times. Everything here is recalculated each time the site is built.

The same figures for every other subject, and for all 283 sessions together, are on our data page.

No bot, no form maze

Want these numbers under your own programme?

Every session we run for you ends with the same survey, and you get the report afterwards: per session, per expert, per audience. Ask us how that works.
