Leadership Practices Inventory
The Leadership Practices Inventory is a best-selling and trusted leadership tool. This product approaches leadership as a measurable, learnable, and teachable set of behaviors. Developed by Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner, this popular 360-degree 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.
How It Works
The LPI helps individuals appreciate how others see their leadership behavior and understand how to use that information to become the most effective leader possible. A short, 10-step assessment guides participants through the process of understanding their LPI feedback report.

The fifth edition of the LPI offers:
- A fresh, modern look to the materials, including the feedback reports
- A group comparison report page
- A shorter workbook specifically designed for debriefing and understanding the Feedback Report
