About this title

Review

"The Student Leadership Practices Inventory is the best tool I have used to help students assess their leadership effectiveness because it translates the concept of leadership into actions and relationships. By defining and measuring specific leadership behaviors, the Student LPI allows students to not only see how they are doing as leaders but determine how they can improve." —Cathy Early, director of leadership education, National Interfraternity Conference

"Kouzes and Posner have developed the most effective instrument around for assessing leadership skills, and they provide a complete curriculum following the assessment designed to increase students′ abilities to reach their full potential as leaders. The feedback from students was so powerful that Kouzes and Posner′s leadership practices have been integrated into our comprehensive leadership program." —Kay Bales, Director of Leadership and Service Programs, Ball State University

"Made me realize that I am leader––and helped me figure out how to be a better one at that."
"I really liked that it was focused on students, rather than business people and executives. I could relate to what it was asking and telling me to do."
"I learned that leadership isn′t about telling people what to do, but rather coming together to achieve a common goal."These are just a few of the things students have to say about their experiences with the Student Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI)––a new version of Kouzes and Posner′s exceptional tool for developing extraordinary leaders––now tailored to the specific needs of students and young people!The four–instrument package assesses leadership skills and potential in five key areas, based on the five essential practices:– Challenging the Process– Inspiring a Shared Vision– Enabling Others to Act– Modeling the Way– Encouraging the HeartThe Facilitator′s Guide is rich in examples and strategies for building leadership abilities suited to today′s diverse organizational environments.
