The Leadership Practices Inventory® (LPI®) 360 is an observer-based assessment that measures The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership®, the acclaimed leadership development model created by Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner.
This assessment empowers leaders with real-world feedback to evaluate their leadership competencies. The resulting personalized report serves as a powerful tool for leaders as they embark on their journey toward extraordinary leadership.
