What is the Leadership Practices Inventory® (LPI®) 360?

The Leadership Practices Inventory® is a highly effective leadership assessment tool. It is based on the 5 Practices of Exemplary Leaders as described by Kouzes & Posner in The Leadership Challenge.

The Leadership Practices Inventory is based on over 30 years of continued research, and thousands of case studies, into people’s personal-best experiences of leaders. The result of this extensive research is The 5 Practices of Exemplary Leadership model. Each practice consists of 6 specific leadership behaviors.

The LPI® 360 reports on the frequency of demonstrated leadership behaviors. There is also the option to collect qualitative feedback via up to five verbatim questions. The LPI® 360 assessment is completed by the leader (self-assessment) and a number of nominated observers (raters). Observers are separated into the following rater groups:

  • Manager
  • Peers
  • Direct Reports
  • Other

Easy to understand, actionable reports

  • The result of the LPI360® assessment is an easy-to-understand and actionable report. Easily identify areas of strengths and the practices/behaviors that need more attention.
  • See how you compare with other leaders – your leadership practice is also normed against a large pool of leaders.
  • Includes a reassessment of the LPI360, after a period of focussed development, to measure growth and distance traveled.
  • A number of supporting LPI® resources are available to support continued development.

The 5 Practices of Exemplary Leadership:

5 practices of exemplary leaders lpi

1. Model The Way

  • Leaders establish principles concerning the way people should be treated and the way goals should be pursued.
  • They create standards of excellence and then set an example for others to follow. Because the prospect of complex change can overwhelm people and stifle action, they set interim goals so that people can achieve small wins as they work toward larger objectives.
  • Leaders unravel bureaucracy when it impedes action; they put up signposts when people are unsure of where to go or how to get there; and they create opportunities for victory.

2. Inspire A Shared Vision

  • Leaders passionately believe that they can make a difference.
  • They envision the future, creating an ideal and unique image of what the organization can become. Through their magnetism and quiet persuasion, leaders enlist others in their dreams.
  • Leaders breathe life into their visions and get people to see exciting possibilities for the future.

3. Challenge The Process

  • Leaders search for opportunities to change the status quo.
  • They look for innovative ways to improve the organization. In doing so, they experiment and take risks.
  • And because leaders know that risk-taking involves mistakes and failures, they accept the inevitable disappointments as learning opportunities.

4. Enable Others To Act

  • Leaders foster collaboration and build spirited teams.
  • They actively involve others. Leaders understand that mutual respect is what sustains extraordinary efforts; they strive to create an atmosphere of trust and human dignity.
  • Leaders strengthen others, making each person feel capable and powerful.

5. Encourage The Heart

  • Accomplishing extraordinary things in organizations is hard work. To keep hope and determination alive, leaders recognize the contributions that individuals make.
  • In every winning team, the members need to share in the rewards of their efforts, so leaders celebrate accomplishments.
  • Leaders make people feel like heroes.
