The LPI is based on the five practices of leadership outlined by James Kouzes and Barry Posner*. The five distinct practices that Kouzes and Posner have identified each consist of two strategies:

1. Challenging the Process
   • Searching for opportunities
   • Experimenting and taking risks
2. Sharing an Inspired Vision
   • Envisioning the future
   • Enlisting others
3. Enabling Others to act
   • Fostering collaboration
   • Strengthening others
4. Modeling the Way
   • Setting the Example
   • Achieving small wins
5. Encouraging the Heart
   • Recognizing individual contributions
   • Celebrating team accomplishments

These five practices and their accompanying strategies are a learnable set of behaviors. The LPI enables you to evaluate and significantly improve your leadership skills.

Participants obtain “360º” feedback from:

• Themselves
• Direct Reports
• Managers
• Coworkers/peers
• Colleagues outside the organization

We tabulate all of the data and provide you with a comprehensive report. Our follow-up includes both written observation and recommendation. Executive coaching is also available.
