Leadership is first and foremost about creating a way for people to contribute to making something extraordinary happen.
It’s about the beliefs and actions effective leaders use to transform values, vision, innovation, cohesion, and reward into something exceptional. It’s about leadership that creates the environment which encourages and enables its people to become remarkable and successful.
In today’s challenging times, Intentional and Purposeful Leadership may be one of the most important, and possibly rarest, gifts an organization can offer its employee’s. Formal and informal leadership opportunities are everywhere, and today’s leaders are expected to not only be adaptive and effective in any situation, but be more in tune to their impact within an organization.
Those leaders who stand out in the crowd are truly students of self awareness, impact, and constant learning. They don’t settle for the status quo. They don’t rest on their laurels. They are willing to take risks and make mistakes. They certainly don’t give up on themselves. They do whatever it takes to be the best leader possible and strive to continually do more to improve themselves.
For a leader to be the best they can be, they need to become a great learner. Learning from their own experiences, and those that experience them as leaders, is one of the surest and most effective ways to grow.
As a certified leadership development coach and facilitator, one of the best ways I find to do this is through a leadership 360 assessment.
The Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) instrument package approaches leadership as a measurable, learnable, and teachable set of behaviours. This 360 leadership assessment tool helps individuals and organizations measure their leadership competencies, while guiding them through the process of applying their learning’s to their real-life organizational challenges.
Through the LPI the leader will receive valuable feedback from managers, direct reports, co-workers, peers, and colleagues both from within and outside their organization. Feedback that provides valid and useful information to help improve their leadership skills.
Once received, I will sit down with the leader to review the results and through discussion and coaching will create a solid and collaborative go-forward action plan.
So ask yourself, “What kind of leader do I choose to be?” Develop your leadership potential today. Contact me for more information on the LPI 360 tool and our LPI half day workshop. |
