Leadership Practices Inventory

360^° Leadership Behaviors Assessment

“I ask for feedback on how my actions affect the performance of other.”

Statistically, this is the behavior that is the least practiced by individuals in positions of leadership across of levels of seniority, types of organization, geographic locations, etc.

What do you know about how your actions affect the performance of others?

If your honest answer to the question is something along the lines: “I’m not sure,” or “I’ve got a vague idea,” or “I’d like to find out more,” this is where we can help.

We make available an assessment tool that allows you to gather anonymous input from a wide variety of members of your community – your manager, your colleagues, your partners, and others – on their perception of your behaviors as a leader.

Bridge Group Communications uses the world-class Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI)[1] which measures the frequency with which you engage in 30 behaviors that are most closely linked with those of exemplary leaders in a wide variety of fields. Those 30 behaviors have been discerned and defined by leadership authorities Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner during the past twenty years, and documented and illustrated in their best-selling The Leadership Challenge, now in its fourth edition. The Leadership Practices Inventory is one of the most widely used 360° leadership behaviors assessment tools in the world.

The assessment is administered on-line over a few weeks. You may collect anonymous feedback from up to 15 individuals of your own choosing. Upon completion, you will receive an objective feedback report on your behaviors as a leader. The results are confidential and available only you.

The challenge for each of you will be to discern what your colleagues are telling you - what your key strengths are as a leader, and what your challenges are. During the course of our individual coaching session, The Citizen Leader Seminars or The Leadership Challenge Workshop, it is our intent to give you the opportunity — within a supportive environment – to begin to address any behaviors or patterns that you identify from your feedback report that might be getting in your way as a leader (unwittingly or not), and adversely affect the performance of the people you lead. We will allow you the opportunity for introspection, and ask you to make individual commitments to personal and professional growth. Additionally, we will encourage you to identify behaviors and patterns that are your strengths, so that you might draw on them to coach and mentor your colleagues.

We believe that your curiosity to ask for feedback on how your actions affect the performance of others and your humility to demonstrate you commit to personal and professional growth will serve you well in the roles you assume as an active citizen and an engaging leader at work and in your communities.
