The Leadership Challenge is a three-day workshop for leaders who want to get extraordinary things accomplished. This workshop is based on the original and proven research of best-selling authors Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner. The workshop focuses on each of the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership in detail. The Five Practices are:

• Model the Way
• Inspire a Shared Vision
• Challenge the Process
• Enable Others to Act
• Encourage the Heart

Each participant completes the 360-degree Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) online assessment, which is one of the most widely used leadership assessments available. The results are the basis for reviewing and developing actions to strengthen leadership behaviors. Research shows that people are significantly more satisfied with the actions of their leaders when they demonstrate the Five Practices.

• The LPI online assessment
• An experiential workshop that includes facilitation, individual and group activities, and contemporary video case examples
• Participant workbook
