According to 40 years of research by leadership authors Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner, the most effective leaders have a clear personal leadership philosophy and communicate it frequently. Like a great coach, you have an explicit philosophy or approach to work that is clearly communicated to others.

Whether you're a seasoned leader or just getting started in a leadership role, a personal leadership profile (PLP) will allow you to articulate your values, goals, and the type of leader you aspire to be. The result is a strategic tool to help you improve your culture. Please answer the following questions as if you are sharing them with a new colleague or employee. Please provide a minimum of two sentences for each answer.

Based on your answers, we will build a "draft" for you to revise, build upon, and use as a roadmap.

Thank you for completing the PLP questions. It will be a cornerstone of your continued growth and development.
