Improve Your Leadership Results
Leadership is Everyone's Business
Research shows that employees cite their relationship with their leaders – especially their direct manager or supervisor – as one of the most important contributing factors to their own level of effectiveness and engagement at work. How leaders act is one of the primary manifestations of the health of an organization.
At Integris, we believe leadership practices are a prerequisite for establishing healthy organizations.
OUR APPROACH TO IMPROVING YOUR LEADERS
The Leadership Challenge®
For over 30 years, Kouzes and Posner have collected thousands of leadership stories from people at all levels of an organization's– from CEOs to front line supervisors. Despite differences in title, age, gender, race, and other variables, these stories revealed that the process of leading follows a very consistent set of behaviors. Kouzes and Posner – the world’s most influential leadership experts – categorized these behaviors into five easy-to-grasp practices.
The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership®
The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership® is a clear, evidence-based path to achieving the extraordinary used by over 5 million people and organizations around the globe. It turns the abstract concept of leadership into understandable practices that can be learned by anyone – from Supervisors to Managers to Directors – willing to step up and accept the challenge to lead.
On-going studies consistently confirm that The Five Practices are positively correlated with both the effectiveness of leaders, and the level of commitment, engagement, and satisfaction of those that follow.
Measuring the Behaviors of Effective Leadership
Because The Leadership Challenge is built around observable behaviors, it should be no surprise that TLC includes a highly credible measurement instrument. The Leadership Practices Inventory® (LPI® 360) is one of the most widely used leadership assessment instruments in the world.
With the LPI 360, leaders rate themselves on the frequency with which they believe they engage in the behaviors associated with each of The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership®. A group of “observers” (direct reports, managers, peers, etc.) also complete the survey, indicating the frequency with which they experience the leader engaging in the same behaviors. Combined, these different perspectives provide valuable insight into how the participant views him/herself, how others view him/her, and what actions can be taken to improve the individual’s ability to lead.
Research shows that most leaders practice these behaviors at least some of the time. In fact, the findings are very clear that frequency of behavior is what differentiates the most effective leaders from their less effective counterparts. The data undeniably shows that when leaders more frequently exhibit these behaviors, customer-focused results improve, organizational alignment increases, process improvement efforts thrive and employee engagement rises.
