The MLQTeam is a very useful instrument for benchmarking group member's ratings of internal group influencing behaviours (shared leadership). It provides a yardstick against which to diagnose current team performance, indicate high leverage team development objectives, and measure future improvements as a consequence of team enhancement strategies.
The MLQTeam is based on the comprehensively researched Full Range Leadership Model (FRLM: Bass & Avolio) which differentially links a full range of leadership behaviors with outcomes such as satisfaction, extra effort, efficiency and performance beyond expectations. The FRLM has nine leadership factors grouped into Transformational, Transactional and Laissez-faire behaviors.

The MLQTeam provides an excellent opportunity to educate all team members about the FRLM. This can be a useful first step before having team members undertake the sometimes personally challenging 360-degree feedback using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ). The MLQTeam compliments the MLQ by providing and reinforcing at the group and organisational levels what the MLQ provides at the individual level.

The MLQTeam is often a good place to start with a work group since it affords the opportunity to educate a group about the Full Range Leadership Model. In addition it provides valuable feedback to the team as a whole about how its members see the group performing leadership functions as a team.
Like the MLQ, the MLQT's dimensions include: Transformational Leadership, Transactional Leadership, Non-Transactional Leadership, and outcomes of leadership such as ratings of effectiveness, satisfaction and efficiency. These Full Range Leadership Model scales are listed bellow.
Responses from the MLQT are gathered from all team members and the results are aggregated for the whole group. These are then reported in a comprehensive Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire for Teams Report comprising 31 pages:
- Narrative explanations of the concepts used
- Graphs of team responses
- Levels of disagreement about perceptions of the team's exercise of the full transformational - transactional paradigm leadership behaviours
- Comments about the optimum levels of various leadership behaviours which the team should have as a goal to achieve outcomes which exceed expectations.
