The LPI is GGCI's preferred 360°-type tool for soliciting feedback
from your direct reports.

"The LPI was very helpful in getting me to think about what people thought of my leadership style and how I could become a better boss. The results were like pieces of a puzzle that I never seemed to be able to put together before. I now know what I need to do."
