Synopsis

Leadership is everyone′s business!

Everyone must function as a leader at some time and in some arena––whether in an organization, an agency, a task force, a committee, a community group, or even a family setting––and everyone can learn to lead effectively. The Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) will show you how!

The LPI Participant′s Workbook provides:

A brief explanation of the development of the LPI

Descriptions of the five practices of exemplary leadership

An explanation of how to analyze and interpret LPI feedback

Questions that guide you through a detailed analysis of your own feedback

More than 130 ways to improve your day–to–day use of the leadership practices

Action–planning forms to complete so that you can direct your efforts to improve

A suggested design for conducting a meeting with the people who gave you the gift of feedback, so that you can learn even more from them

A list of recommended readings to further your leadership development

LPI: Self allows you to assess your use of the five leadership practices: challenging the process, inspiring a shared vision, enabling others to act, modeling the way, and encouraging the heart.
