of job performance and leadership in the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was examined. Research in this domain is notable as this type of evaluation is now being done with regularity in the private sector and is starting to be utilized more extensively in the public sector, but is still being used to a limited extent in law enforcement. The path of this research examined differences between self-assessments and assessments of others (peers and subordinates) in dimensions of leadership as measured by the same multi-rater instrument at two points in time. This research effort made use of a multi-rater survey instrument called the “Leadership Commitments and Credibility Inventory System (LCCIS),” designed by Keilty, Goldsmith, and Company, which is used in multiple industries and was expanded to capture characteristics considered important to FBI leaders.
