The Leadership Practices Inventory
What is the Leadership Practices Inventory?
The short answer?
The LPI360 gives you clear and actionable answers to the question, "How do others see me as a leader?"
The LPI360 is the most reliable and valid 360-degree, behaviorally-based leadership assessment in the world. To date, it has been trusted by over 5 million leaders worldwide and is backed by over 700 independent academic research studies over the past 40+ years. It has become the gold standard for leadership development.
The LPI360 is an observer-based assessment that enables you to assess your leadership competencies and act on their discoveries. This powerful assessment and detailed report will help you take the first step toward achieving the extraordinary and reaching your personal leadership best.
Background
In the early 1980's, Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner began exploring the question, "What do leaders do while operating at their personal best?" Asking this question led to a wave of groundbreaking research, an international best-selling book, The Leadership Challenge (now in its 7th edition), a world-renowned workshop by the same name, and the Leadership Practices Inventory or LPI360. I am certified as both an LPI360 coach and a Leadership Challenge workshop facilitator. I have facilitated over a dozen workshops, administered hundreds of LPI 360s, and consulted with and coached dozens of leaders on this powerful leadership tool.
From Kouzes and Posner's research data, thirty leadership behaviors emerged that were factor-analyzed into their leadership model, The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership, that has stood the test of time for over 40 years.

The LPI360
The LPI 360 assessment provides a self-assessment plus powerful, feedback from a variety of observers. Observers include your manager(s), direct reports, colleagues, and if helpful, other key stakeholders. With the exception of your manager, all of the observers' feedback is anonymous.
You and your observers rate how frequently you engage in each of the 30 leadership behaviors. A customized, detailed, and confidential assessment or "Individual Feedback Report" is then generated.
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 5 million leaders worldwide and is backed by over 700 independent academic research studies over 40 years. 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."

The instrument of leadership is the self, and mastery of the art of leadership comes from mastery of the self.

Feedback is Leadership Gold
Independent research shows that by collecting feedback from a variety of perspectives, especially peers and direct reports, leaders can understand how they are seen from all points of view. The LPI360 gathers meaningful feedback from your manager, direct reports, colleagues, and if helpful, other key stakeholders. It can include up to five open-ended questions to capture even more insights and observations. You can then use this knowledge to assess the extent to which you actually exhibit exemplary leadership behaviors. This gives you an opportunity to identify strengths to leverage and opportunities to improve on. That's why I say that this type of feedback is a valuable gift of leadership gold.
Expert Assessment Debrief & Consultation
After your personalized and confidential report is generated, you and I sit down (usually virtually) and walk through your report in a safe and confidential setting. 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.
The LPI 360 doesn't measure your personality or any type of quotient. It's not going to label your 'type' or what color you are. It measures what others see you do. It measures the perception that others have of how frequently you display or engage in thirty research-based exemplary leadership behaviors proven to amplify leadership effectiveness.
The Process
This process—the assessment, the detailed report, the debrief/consultation, and if you choose, additional coaching—enables you to assess your leadership behaviors and act on your discoveries. It increases your self-awareness, improves your leadership skill and practice, and helps you see your leadership strengths and opportunities for improvement. It will enable you to understand the impact of your leadership approach on those you lead.
The LPI360 will help you identify behaviors that others perceive that you are doing well or most frequently, so that you can continue to leverage them. You also identify key behaviors that others perceive that you are not displaying frequently, explore consistency of perceptions across the categories of observers, compare your self-ratings to your observers, identify patterns, and see how your scores fall in relationship to other leaders in the massive database. Finally, you can then create a much more informed and targeted action-plan for change that you can only get with the LPI360.
It is a powerful process that will help you adjust and take actionable steps toward achieving the extraordinary and reaching your personal leadership best.
