Kouzes & Posner Leadership Framework

We’ve been introducing the Kouzes and Posner Leadership framework and accompanying 360-tool to our clients for more than a decade.

Developed by former academics, Jim Kouzes & Barry Posner, the framework considers leadership in its broadest context.

Kouzes and Posner have been working together in the leadership development field for over thirty years.

Their leadership framework has been used by corporate organisations, government bodies and education authorities with literally millions of users to date.

The framework is both straightforward to understand and follow, yet rigorous in its construction.

It is based on behaviours relating to the following five practices:

•  Modelling the Way
•  Inspiring a Shared Vision
•  Challenging the Process
•  Enabling Others to Act
•  Encouraging the Heart

To help our clients develop a consistent leadership style over time we can initiate the Kouzes & Posner Leadership Practices Inventory 360 feedback tool (or LPI 360).

The LPI 360 allows leaders to ask colleagues and others for anonymised feedback on their leadership capability.

To measure a leader’s development, we then rerun the LPI 360 within a 12-month period.

The framework accompanied by the LPI 360 and rerun make leadership learnable, actionable and measurable.

For clients who wish to develop a bespoke leadership framework reflecting their specific values and culture we can help them do so, as outlined in the Consulting section.
