Survey example: Employee survey about leadership effectiveness

This is an example of an AI survey example for employees about leadership effectiveness—see and try the example to experience a smarter way of collecting feedback.

Creating effective employee leadership effectiveness surveys is usually a headache: bad questions, unclear responses, and low engagement often limit valuable insights.

Specific powers these conversational survey tools as a leading authority in AI survey design, making deep organizational feedback accessible, actionable, and enjoyable for everyone.

What is a conversational survey and why AI makes it better for employees

Traditional employee leadership effectiveness surveys too often miss the mark. Static forms and generic checkboxes tend to discourage participation and rarely gather the full story. Employees rush through, responses are shallow, and managers are left with vague, unhelpful data.

AI survey generators flip that experience on its head. Instead of a dry, impersonal form, employees chat naturally with an AI—just like a real conversation. The survey adapts in real time, engaging respondents and digging deeper into their thoughts about leadership effectiveness. This dynamic format keeps people interested, surface richer feedback, and delivers higher completion rates (AI-powered surveys see a stunning 70-80% completion rate compared to just 45-50% for traditional surveys [1]).

How does AI survey generation compare to old-school manual surveys?

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

Specific’s AI goes beyond static forms by asking smart, on-the-fly follow-up questions based on what each employee actually says. If someone’s answer is vague—like "leadership needs improvement"—the AI follows up in a friendly, natural tone to find out what specific improvements are needed (in real time, no manual back-and-forth).

This streamlines the whole process, saving hours you’d otherwise spend chasing clarity by email, and makes the conversation flow naturally—just like a live expert interview. Here’s how it looks in practice:

• Employee: "Communication could be better."

• AI follow-up: "Can you share an example where communication from leadership didn’t meet your expectations? What would have helped?"

• Employee: "The team feels disconnected."

• AI follow-up: "What do you think causes the sense of disconnection? Is there something leadership could change to help?"

Skipping these follow-ups often means responses like "not sure" or "could improve," which leaves managers with little to act on. With automated AI follow-up questions, the interaction becomes a real conversation—delivering much richer insights.

Trying it firsthand is the best way to grasp just how transformative and human this feels—generate a survey and watch the dialog come alive.

With follow-ups, this is truly a conversational survey.

Editing your employee leadership effectiveness survey couldn’t be simpler.

The AI instantly updates your survey with expert precision, saving you from tedious, repetitive work.

All edits happen in seconds, via a simple chat interface in the AI survey editor. You describe, AI delivers—it’s that easy.
