Leadership Practices Inventory Assessment

The video explores the Leadership Challenge by Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner, focusing on behaviors rather than personality traits. It introduces five core practices: model the way, inspire a shared vision, challenge the process, enable others to act, and encourage the heart. Each practice has specific commitments. The Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) is a tool to assess these practices through a 360-degree feedback mechanism. The video explains how to interpret LPI results to identify areas for leadership improvement.
