This card deck was created by two Certified Masters of The Leadership Challenge Workshop, based on the best-selling book by Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner. The Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) Action Cards Facilitator’s Guide Set provides instructions for conducting various activities using LPI Action cards, as well as a set of the cards. The cards, when used with the facilitator’s guide, are designed to reinforce the specific actions of the 30 LPI behaviors. In one activity, participants are provided with the opportunity to apply the LPI Behaviors to a real-life, unresolved challenging business situation. Working in small groups, the participants each write down their own challenge and take turns suggesting how the problem can be solved using various LPI Actions. The cards are the participants to keep--in the future, they can use the deck as an application tool on their own or with their team for other business issues. The facilitator will need to provide each participant with their own deck of the LPI Action Cards.

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.

Selecting the right multirater instrument from among the dozens that are available can be difficult. This new edition of Feedback to Managers, the fourth, updates and expands the popular 1998 edition. It guides the selection process with an in-depth analysis of 32 publicly available instruments. Each of the instrument reports includes descriptive information, a look at the research behind the instrument, and descriptions of support materials.
