We’ll also discuss ways to shift from a detail-oriented, tactical point-of-view to a strategic perspective that considers the broader organizational picture and introduce the Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI©), a 360-degree leadership assessment to gather information from each participant’s direct reports, peers, managers and other individuals with whom the participant regularly interacts. The findings from this assessment provide participants with a report that identifies strengths and areas for development.
