This review is from: The Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI)-Deluxe Facilitator's Guide Package (Loose-leaf, with CD-ROM Scoring Software, Self/Observer, Workbook, Planner & copy of The Leadership Challenge book ) (Ring-bound)

I use this product one of the main tools for coaching. The LPI is a fantastic diagnositic tool. What is most important is that it describes the functional behaviors behind general leadership categories; such as Inspiring a Shared Vision and Modeling the Way. Some people have a difficult time getting a handle on what those general categories look like. The LPI helps them with specific behaviors from which they can build actionable steps to achieve their goals. Kudos to Kouzes!

This review is from: The Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI)-Deluxe Facilitator's Guide Package (Loose-leaf, with CD-ROM Scoring Software, Self/Observer, Workbook, Planner & copy of The Leadership Challenge book ) (Ring-bound)

This package has everything you need to become a better leader and conduct leadership workshops for a political or religious group, friends, students, or at the office. Working through the whole package is so much more effective than just reading The Leadership Challenge. The software and workbook are essential! My graduate students in our communication and leadership program--all working professionals--think this material is excellent. The strong research-base means you can be confident when adapting the strategies to your context. This package will change you into a more effective leader no matter what kind of work you do.
