Just released in its updated, third edition, the Leadership Practices Inventory is a 360° instrument which measures the frequency of 30 specific leader behaviors. These behaviors are directly related to the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership™ detailed by authors Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner in their award winning book, The Leadership Challenge. The completely revised, third edition of the book was released in August 2002, clearly demonstrating that the five practices (and associated behaviors measured by the LPI) are continuing to be prove their worth in all kinds of organizational settings. The instrument contains 30 items, six for each of the five practices. Each behavior is rated on a 10-point Likert scale. Research has shown that: the more frequently an individual is perceived as doing the behaviors, the more likely that person will be identified as an effective leader. The LPI is elegant in its simplicity and its power. Respondents do not have to sort through page after page of confusing data, trying to figure out what the feedback means and what is most important. It is easily understandable and provides a clear roadmap on how best to proceed in more fully developing leadership behaviors. The LPI provides both reliable and valid assessments of respondent leadership behavior and skill. It is one of the most widely used leadership inventories for both individual feedback and leadership research purposes. An in-depth analysis of its psychometric properties has been published, (for those seeking a very detailed examination of the inventory), and numerous doctoral dissertations have been based on the LPI. The LPI continues to be a very effective instrument for both understanding and developing more capable leaders.
