LPI 360 coachingThe Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) is the best-selling and most trusted leadership tool of its generation. 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 behaviours. This 360-degree leadership assessment tool helps individuals and organisations 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 organisational challenges.

Leaders complete the Leadership Practices Inventory-Self, rating themselves on the frequency with which they think they engage in each of the thirty behaviours. Five to ten other people—typically selected by the leaders—complete the Leadership Practices Inventory-Observer questionnaire, rating the leaders on the frequency with which they think they engage in each behaviour. Respondents can indicate their relationship to the leader—manager, co-worker or peer, direct report, or other observer—but, with the exception of the leader’s manager, all the observers’ feedback is anonymous. The Leadership Practices Inventory is available in paper and online form.

The Leadership Practices Inventory Reliability
Items in the Leadership Practices Inventory are highly correlated within each scale and test-retest reliability is high. Internal reliability, as measured by Cronbach’s Alpha, is strong, with all scales above the .75 level. Empirical tests of differences between leaders (using the Leadership Practices Inventory-Self form) and their constituents (using the Leadership Practices Inventory-Observer form) reveal no statistically significant differences (at the .001 level of probability) between these two groups on Challenging and Modelling. While statistically significant, the mean differences between these two groups on Inspiring, Enabling, and Encouraging have little practical significance, except to note that leaders view themselves as engaging slightly less in Inspiring and Encouraging, and slightly more in Enabling, than do their constituents.??A five-factor solution for the Leadership Practices Inventory (both the Self and Observer versions) was generated by a factor analysis, using principal component analysis with varimax rotation and Kaiser normalisation. While some statements loaded on more than one factor, their highest loading was generally with the other statements conceptualised as comprising that factor (scale). These results provide continued empirical support for these various leadership behaviours to be conceptualised within five practices (challenging, inspiring, enabling, modelling, and encouraging).
