What is a Leadership Potential Indicator?

The Leadership Potential Indicator (LPI) tool and in-class debrief included with our Emerging Leaders Course, provides information about a person’s leadership level, skills and style. It is based on a five factor concept model of leadership that covers competencies that frequently appear in company competency frameworks.

Understand leadership level, style and skills. Analyse leadership level, style and competencies. Offer practical tips for leadership development. Improve leadership skills and performance.

What does it measure?

Drawing on elements of modern leadership theory, the MySkills Profile LPI assesses 20 dimensions of leadership effectiveness. The questionnaire, which takes about 15 minutes to complete, measures five leadership meta-competencies and 20 lower-level management and leadership competencies using the Standard Ten (Sten) scoring system. The LPI report provides an in-depth profile of the individual’s leadership skills, level and style, as well as offering tips and suggestions for improvement.
