A Crazy Puzzle
The pursuit of leadership effectiveness can sometimes seem like a crazy puzzle.  What's a leader to do?  Seek feedback!

In a recent HBR study of 51,896 executives by Jack Zenger and Joseph Folkman, those leaders who ranked at the bottom 10% in asking for feedback—that is to say, they asked for feedback less often than fully 90% of their peers—those low-feedback leaders were also low-effectiveness leaders (rated at the 15th percentile in overall leadership effectiveness).

On the other hand, those leaders who ranked at the top 10% in asking for feedback—high feedback leaders—those leaders were also high-effectiveness leaders (rated, on average, at the 86th percentile in overall leadership effectiveness).

Most of us are probably somewhere in the middle in terms of seeking feedback and that means our effectiveness could probably use a boost, too.  But we don't want just any feedback.  We need quality, actionable feedback.

Not all feedback is the same.
Research shows that by collecting feedback from a variety of perspectives, especially peers and direct reports, individuals can understand how they’re seen from all points of view.  They can then use this knowledge to assess the extent to which they actually engage in effective and exemplary leadership behaviors.

The Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) 360
The LPI 360 may be the best answer for leaders seeking powerful feedback in pursuit of increasing their effectiveness.  100% confidential, the LPI 360 can provide you that quality and powerful feedback.

Hundreds of scientific studies have consistently confirmed the reliability and validity of the LPI and the Five Practices leadership framework on which it is based.  To date, it has been trusted by over five million leaders  worldwide and it has become the gold standard for leadership development.  This led the Center for Creative Leadership to call the LPI the "most reliable and valid instrument for leadership development."

My Process
I use a time-tested and leader-tested process.  After your personalized and confidential report is generated, you and I sit down (usually virtually) and walk through your report.  I'll provide you expert insight into your results.  I have administered hundreds of LPI 360s and consulted and coached dozens of leaders on this powerful leadership tool. 

Then, you can use the tools that come with the package and create an action-plan for your very own personalized, focused leadership development.  You can also choose to add coaching sessions after the debrief session for even more impact.  To learn more about the process and the two LPI 360 packages I offer, just click here:  The LPI 360

The feedback you receive and this process increases your self-awareness, improves your leadership skill and practice, and helps you see your leadership behavior strengths and opportunities.  It will enable you to understand the impact of your leadership approach on those you lead.  It is a powerful process that will help you adjust and take actionable steps toward achieving the extraordinary and reaching your personal leadership best.

Nurture your leadership.  Invest in yourself.  Achieve the extraordinary!
