It is oftentimes helpful in the coaching process to do some self-assessments or 360-degree assemssments. I will sometimes recommend one of these tools, include the refelctions on the results in a coaching session, and help the client with a personal devlopment plan based on the results and the coaching.
Leadership Practices Inventory
We may decide to include the Leadership Practices Inventory in your coaching program--either the Self-Report or also the 360-degree version with feedback from lay leaderss and staff.
The LPI is a questionnaire with thirty behavioral statements—six for each of The Five Practices—that takes 10 to 20 minutes to complete. Leaders complete the LPI-Self, rating themselves on the frequency with which they think they engage in each of the thirty behaviors. Five to ten other people—typically selected by the leaders—complete the LPI-Observer questionnaire, rating the leaders on the frequency with which they think they engage in each behavior.
I am certified to adminster the Conflict Dynamics Profile. Let me know if you would like to include this in your coaching program.
The Conflict Dynamics Profile, an assessment instrument dealing with conflict behaviors in the organzation/congregation, provides a powerful way to improve self-awareness of what triggers conflict in individuals as well as how they respond to conflict. Based on these triggers and responses, the Conflict Dynamics Profile then provides practical approaches for improving behaviors that promote more effective conflict resolution and interactions.
I am one of the certified Leadership Cirlce Profile facilitators and use this with some of my clients, particularly if they want to look at their own leadership holistically and are open to receiving feedback from others in their organization and life. The Leadership Circle Profile is the only instrument that measures the two primary leadership domains – Creative Competencies and Reactive Tendencies – and integrates this information so that key opportunities for leadership development immediately rise to the surface. Administered and debriefed by a Certified Practitioner who specializes in your industry and organizational needs, the Leadership Circle Profile assessment and debrief process is specifically tailored to every individual’s development.
