How do others perceive your leadership behaviors?
No matter how much we think we are self-aware and have the best intentions, we often do not fully realize the impact of our behaviors on others.
The center of our Leadership Practices Framework is the domain of Personal Leadership. The purpose of this domain is to:
 ârole model leadership practices and demonstrate constructive interactions.â
To role model leadership behaviors and adapt our practices to different circumstances requires self-insight and feedback from others.
An important question is how do we get objective feedback from others?
The Human Synergistics Life-Style Inventory⢠(LSI 1 & 2) assessments provide a safe and evidenced-based approach to looking at ourselves through the eyes of others.
The LSI 1 will provide insight into your thinking styles, while the LSI 2 (othersâ descriptions) helps us understand how others see us.
For the 360 assessment, you can choose up to 12 peers, managers, and/or direct reports to provide confidential feedback on your behavior and effectiveness.
Â
The results will identify your confirmed strengths, recognized strengths, blind spots, and stumbling blocks.
The data collected from your assessments are processed electronically and compared to a global norm group.
An accredited coach will work alongside you to debrief the reports, and to act as your thinking partner to choose behaviors and actions to work on.
Using the Life-Style Inventory⢠(LSI 1 & 2) with professional coaching will help to enhance your leadership effectiveness.
