PRACTICES
INVENTORY

9. STUDENT LPI (SELF)
approachesleadership as a
measurable,learnable, and
teachable set of behaviors,
because everyone can be a
leader—whether in a
designatedleadership role or
not.
1
The Student LPI helps you
accurately measure your
leadershipskills and take
action to improve your
effectiveness as leaders.
2
It is a “snapshot in time” – you
may like or not like what you
see, and our natural inclination
is often self-critical. It’s not the
picture that matters, it’s what
you do as a result of seeing it.

10. ABOUT THE LPI
• CREATED THROUGH QUALITATIVE & QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
METHODS
• INTERVIEWS & CASE STUDIES FROM PERSONAL-BEST
LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCES GENERATED THE FIVE PRACTICES OF
EXEMPLARY LEADERSHIP
• MODEL THE WAY
• INSPIRE A SHARED VISION
• CHALLENGE THE PROCESS
• ENABLE OTHERS TO ACT
• ENCOURAGE THE HEART
• THESE ACTIONS WERE TRANSLATED INTO 30 BEHAVIORAL
STATEMENTS

11. REMEMBER
• THE LPI IS A DEVELOPMENT TOOL, NOT A TEST SCORE
• THE LPI IS NOT A JUDGEMENT OF HOW WELL YOU DO THE
PRACTICES, BUT HOW OFTEN YOU DO THEM
• EXPLORE THE REPORT TO UNDERSTAND YOURSELF AND FIND
OPPORTUNITIES TO INCREASE THE FREQUENCY WITH WHICH
YOU ENGAGE IN LEADERSHIP BEHAVIORS

12. DISCUSSION/REFLECTION
• WHAT DID YOU NOTICE ABOUT YOUR RESULTS? WHAT SURPRISED YOU?
• ACCORDING TO THE LPI, WHERE DO YOUR STRENGTHS CURRENTLY LIE?
• ARE THERE SIGNIFICANT GAPS BETWEEN YOUR RATINGS IN EACH OF THE FIVE PRACTICES?
• IF SO, WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS?
• GIVEN THE RESULTS, ARE THERE ANY AREAS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO DEVELOP THIS YEAR?
• HOW MIGHT YOU GO ABOUT INCREASING FREQUENCY OF THE LEADERSHIP BEHAVIORS IN THAT AREA?
• COMMENT ON 1-2 POSTS OF STUDENTS IN THE CLASS.
