Student Leadership Practices Inventory
(LPI®)
The Student LPI®
assessment is based on
The Leadership Challenge by James
Kouzes and Barry Posner
and is designed specifically for college
students to measure their leadership
development. There are five practices
of exemplary leadership that make up
their leadership model. They are:
-
Challenge the Process
-
Inspiring a Shared Vision
-
Enabling Others to Act
-
Modeling the Way
-
Encouraging the Heart
Reliability and validity studies from
the Student LPI®
consistently show the
same result: The more frequently you
engage in the behaviors included in the
five practices, the more likely you will
be seen as an effective leader. The
Student LPI®
enables many different kinds
of leaders the opportunity to consider
the leadership skills they already
possess as well as explore the skills
they want to develop.
Participation in the Student LPI®
is part
of a student’s co-curricular programming
for professional development training
(one of the six pillars of our
leadership development program) where
the following learning outcomes are
realized by utilizing three leadership learning opportunities –
leadership
training, leadership development, and
leadership engagement.
