The Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI):

The Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) was 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 Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership® Model to real-life organizational challenges. The Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI), Self Instrument is a 30-item questionnaire that is used by participants to rate themselves on The Five Practices® behaviors. Each participant needs one LPI Self Instrument. Using a Likert scale (scoring from 1 to 10), the LSI measures individual effectiveness across 5 leadership practices:

  • Challenging the process
  • Inspiring a shared vision
  • Enabling others to act
  • Modeling the way
  • Encouraging the heart
