The document discusses leadership behaviors based on Kouzes and Posner's five practices of exemplary leadership: model the way, inspire a shared vision, challenge the process, enable others to act, and encourage the heart. It provides a self-assessment survey to rate how frequently one engages in behaviors from each practice. The results can reveal strengths and opportunities for improvement in specific leadership behaviors and practices.
