Technical Specification



Background

Leadership increasingly requires the capacity to think and act outside the box in order to achieve personal and organizational goals. The LPI provides a framework to help managers and leaders assess their skills, reflect, and decide where they need to improve to raise their leadership level and performance.  

What the test measures

Drawing on elements of modern leadership theory, the LPI assesses twenty dimensions of leadership effectiveness. These measure your leadership level, style and competencies in 4 key leadership areas: developing the vision, sharing the goals, gaining support and delivering success.

Theory behind the test

This assessment is based on a synthesis of the literature on transformational leadership - for example, the work of Bernard Bass, Jim Collins and David Bartram. The literature shows that transformational leaders have a clear vision and communicate it effectively to employees. They inspire employees to perform well, innovate, and put the good of the whole organization above personal interest.
