I am participating in a program to enhance my personal leadership. As part of the process, I am participating in the Leadership
Practices Inventory (LPI) Assessment. It is a 30-item assessment that provides 360-degree feedback on the frequency of specific leadership behaviors based on a 10-point scale. I very much value your feedback and wanted to let you know that I have selected you as an observer to provide feedback on the 30 leadership behaviors. The assessment takes about 10-15 minutes to complete, and you will have the opportunity to add comments at the end of the survey to aid in my development. All responses, with the exception of the Manager, will be anonymous. Your open feedback is much appreciated!
You will be receiving an automated email from the LPI system, but I wanted to provide some additional context for you in advance of that email. As an observer of my leadership behaviors, you will be presented with 30 unique statements. Each question asks you to assign a measurement of how often I engage in a particular behavior. Please read each item carefully, consider the 1-10 rating scale, and select the number that best applies. Based on almost 40 years of research, the LPI data confirms that all 30 questions in the LPI Observer apply to any leader at any level in any organization, under nearly all conditions. As a result, there isn’t a “not applicable” response option.
Be on the lookout for the assessment email, and please complete the assessment by end of day on Wednesday, September 27. Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you for helping me to be a better leader!
