THE LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE ®

Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is a measurable, learnable, and teachable set of behaviors.

The Leadership Challenge ® program is designed to inspire, encourage, and develop leadership behaviors. This framework grew out of rigorous research that authors James M. Kouzes and Barry Posner first began conducting in 1982. From their results emerged The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership ® , five easy-to-grasp concepts that leaders can follow everyday to become extraordinary:

Model The Way
Inspire a Shared Vision
Challenge The Process,
Enable Others to Act
and Encourage The Heart.

The LPI : Leadership Practices Inventory ® assessment not only measures the frequency you engage in exemplary leadership behaviors leadership skills, but it also inspires the breakthrough insights needed to build positive relationships and achieve the extraordinary.

This 360-degree assessment helps organizations create change towards a more motivated and productive workforce by building a culture of leadership.
