Print Leadership Skills Inventory–Self (LSI–S) – Ken Keis

This assessment is a condensed and streamlined version of the book, Transforming Leadership, by Dr. Terry D. Anderson. The book provides you with the theoretical and research background upon which the LSI–Self instrument is based. Completing this learning tool will position you to manage less and lead more, by guiding you to pinpoint the specific skills you need to develop to increase your leadership effectiveness.

Note: The LSI–Self was not designed to assess your ability in technical or operational managerial areas.

The LSI–Self will help you gain insight and formulate a solid leadership development plan.

As you proceed you will see strengths you can maximize and identify areas (gaps) that need work.

Using this assessment, you can:

• Establish your agreement to the 12 Transforming Leadership Principles;
• Evaluate your proficiency level in any of the 60 Transforming Leadership Skills;
• Assess your level of functioning in each of the five skills sections; which are Self-Management Skills ; Interpersonal Communications Skills; Coaching, Counselling and Problem Management Skills; Team and Consulting Skills and Organizational Development and Versatility Skills:
• Determine your overall level of Leadership competency.

Through the LSI–Self, you can become more confident, better equipped, and more effective with a wider range of individuals, teams, and organizations.

The LSI–Self can assist you to do the following:

• Benchmark key skills levels for anyone in a leadership or supervisory role
• Determine required professional development for executive succession planning
• Facilitate leadership-team development and responsibility allocation, based on leadership skills levels
• Establish framework and focus points for Executive and Leadership coaching
