Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) Action Cards Facilitator's Guide Set

release date: Mar 22, 2010
Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) Action Cards Facilitator's Guide Set
All-New Activities Enhance Understanding of the LPI Behaviors Based on the work of internationally acclaimed leadership experts Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner, the Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI®) Action Cards Facilitator's Guide offers step-by-step instructions on how to conduct nine exercises designed to reinforce the 30 LPI behaviors. Using the guide's innovative and effective activities, trainers, human resource professionals, and consultants can facilitate learning opportunities for executives, managers, and aspiring leaders who are committed to improving their leadership competencies. The Action Cards engage participants in resolving challenges in new and creative ways. Each card features one of the 30 LPI behaviors. For example, in one activity, participants apply the behaviors to a real-life, unresolved business situation. Working in small groups, the participants each present their own challenge and take turns suggesting how the problem can be solved using the different behaviors. Each activity utilizes handouts available on the accompanying website and instructions for adapting the activities to one-on-one coaching situations are also included. Facilitators will need to provide each participant with a deck of the cards. Once facilitated instruction has been completed, the cards are designed to become an ongoing resource for each of the participants as they continue to face different challenges in their day-to-day work. They can use their deck as an application tool on their own or with their team to help resolve business issues. The Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI®) Action Cards package was created by Jo Bell and Renee Harness, two Certified Masters of The Leadership Challenge® Workshop. Praise for Leadership Practices Inventory Action Cards "In our ever-increasing, lightening-fast business environment packed with various distractions, LPI cards help me maintain crucial focus toward achieving my own personal leadership improvement goals. They're like a leadership development insurance policy!" —Joseph L. Pray, CLU, senior vice president, The Trustmark Companies; Voluntary Benefit Solutions

Activities using these cards are incorporated into The Leadership Challenge Workshop Facilitator’s Guide Set, 4th Edition. In addition, a stand-alone Facilitator’s Guide dedicated to multiple innovative and effective activities is available, allowing trainers, human resource professionals, and consultants to facilitate learning opportunities for executives, managers, and aspiring leaders who want to refine their leadership skills.

The Values Cards are pre-printed with words such as creativity, loyalty, and teamwork so that participants can identify and record the values that are most meaningful to them. After the workshop or coaching session, the cards become a take-away for the participants--they can use their deck as a tool for reflection and as an aide for helping to clarify the values with their own constituents.

The Challenge Continues modules are intended for brief follow-up/refresher sessions that will move leaders beyond their foundational Leadership Challenge knowledge. Participants are asked to share and reflect on the small wins they have experienced since their Leadership Challenge journey began, and then practice specific skills and behaviors that will prepare them for them for the next leg of their journey. They are also shown how to identify opportunities to expand their use of The Practices for team member development and the influencing of broader spheres of their work units or organizations.The Challenge Continues includes five 90-minute modules (one for each of The Five Practices) along with delivery instructions for both the traditional classroom/coaching settings or the virtual classroom. This comprehensive Facilitator's Guide provides everything needed to prepare for and deliver a high-impact leadership development program for leaders at all levels. It includes step-by-step instructions and customizable presentation scripts for conducting the powerful sessions. In addition, this package contains a flash drive with all of the Facilitator Guide content, forms, and presentation slides; sample copies of the five Participant Workbooks are also provided. A bonus section at the end of the Facilitator's Guide explores ways in which facilitators can continue to extend their participant's learning including overviews of other related models (Covey's Seven Habits, emotional intelligence, leadership ethics, servant leadership, leveraging talents and strengths, storytelling) as well as follow-up activities such as leadership book clubs and how to use Web 2.0/social networking technologies. Built upon a time-tested and evidence-based foundation, The Challenge Continues offers a proven method for developing high-performing leaders in any organization.

Praise for The Leadership Challenge Values Cards Facilitator's Guide "When I went to the Workshop, I was at a turning point in my professional and personal lives. After doing the Values Cards activity, I realized that I was not 'living my values' to the fullest extent in either area. After the workshop, I had conversations with folks in my personal and professional lives as to what is important to me and what I stand for. As a result, I was able to make adjustments in both areas of my life." Ken Hurdle, chief ombudsman, CA Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation

Leadership in Higher Education
The authors of the classic bestseller The Leadership Challenge bring their expertise to higher education, offering five practices that can make any college or university leader into an exemplary leader. Drawing on the same pioneering research that formed the foundation of their classic bestseller The Leadership Challenge (over 2.7 million copies sold), James Kouzes and Barry Posner offer a set of leadership skills and practices that will make a significant difference in every area of higher education—faculty, administration, library services, career counseling, auxiliary services, campus safety, and more. It’s about the behaviors that leaders, regardless of their position, use to transform values into actions, visions into realities, obstacles into innovations, segments into solidarity, and risks into rewards. Kouzes and Posner tell the leadership story from the inside and move outward, describing it first as a personal journey and then as mobilizing others to want to do things they have never done before. The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership is the operating system for this adventure. Leadership in Higher Education explains the fundamental principles that support these practices and provides case examples of people in higher education who demonstrate each one. A core theme that weaves its way through all the chapters is that, whether it’s one to one or one to many, leadership is a relationship between those who aspire to lead and those who choose to follow. We need leaders who can unite us and ignite us. This book lights the way.
