Leaders are made, not born. The head of every successful organization consistently tones and maintains his leadership muscle. The Leadership Skills Inventory–Self (LSI–S) provides leaders with the necessary metrics to develop their transformational leadership skills.

The Leadership Skills Inventory–Self is a powerful leadership evaluation, coaching, learning, and development tool—based on the research and work in our Transforming Leadership™ book. First, you rate your agreement to 12 critical Transforming Leadership principles. Unless your participants agree with these leadership principles, don't invest time and money on their leadership development—their attitude doesn't support the implementation of the Transforming Leadership model.

Proceed to the skills assessment area where you rank yourself on 60 specific leadership competencies, segmented into 5 sections each containing 12 skills. Each section builds on the previous section—so you must be competent in section 1 skills before you can be proficient in section 2 skills.

The 5 sections

• Self-Management Skills

• Interpersonal Communication Skills

• Coaching, Counseling, and Problem-Management Skills

• Consulting Skills for Developing Teams and Organizations

• Organizational Development and Versatility Skills

Use the Professional Development and Planning Section to outline your next steps and strategies.

The Leadership Skills Inventory–Self supports anyone in a leadership or supervisory role to first benchmark, then outline, specific steps to increase and improve his or her leadership effectiveness.

Use the Leadership Skills Inventory to support your leaders in their journey to become inspiring,motivating transformational leaders.
