Take Your Leaders from Ordinary to Extraordinary

Powerful & Simple Framework

Leadership is not about personality; it’s about behavior—an observable set of skills and abilities. When pioneers Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner set out to discover what effective leaders do when they’re at their personal best, they collected thousands of everyday stories. From their studies emerged The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership®️ , five time-tested and easy-to-grasp concepts leaders can follow every day.

Insights That Shape Exceptional Leaders

The Leadership Challenge is powered by The LPI®: Leadership Practices Inventory, a rigorously validated instrument backed by 40 years of research and trusted by more than 1.65 million leaders worldwide. The LPI measures the frequency individuals engage in 30 proven leadership behaviors and empowers them to act on their discoveries—making the pathway to leadership accessible to all.
