The Leadership Practices Inventory

The Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) is the best–selling and most trusted leadership tool of its generation. 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 acclaimed Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership® Model to real–life organizational challenges.

The LPI Observer is a 30–item questionnaire used to rate Leaders on The Five Practices® behaviors. The completed forms provide feedback from a variety of people– managers, direct reports, coworkers, and other colleagues who have had the opportunity to view the participant in leadership situations. We recommend that you order 8 LPI Observers for each participant.
