The Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI):

The Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) was developed by Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner. The third edition of this celebrated instrument package approaches leadership as a measurable, learnable, and teachable set of behaviors. This 360° leadership assessment tool helps individuals and organizations measure their leadership competencies, while guiding them through the process of applying Kouzes and Posner's Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership® Model to real-life organizational challenges. The Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI), Self Instrument is a 30-item questionnaire that is used by participants to rate themselves on The Five Practices® behaviors. Each participant needs one LPI Self Instrument. Using a Likert scale (scoring from 1 to 10), the LSI measures individual effectiveness across 5 leadership practices:

  • Challenging the process
  • Inspiring a shared vision
  • Enabling others to act
  • Modeling the way
  • Encouraging the heart

Leadership Effectiveness Assessment

A confidential in-depth analysis of a leader's effectiveness is conducted by experienced organizational development professionals. The process includes interviews with the leader themselves, their boss, the members of their leadership team and if desired, other key stakeholders. In addition, any existing data such as employee opinion surveys, 360-Degree assessments, etc. is reviewed. This information is combined with leadership "best practices" and specific recommendations are provided to the leader.
