3 Mission: Protect the Vulnerable, Promote Strong and Economically Self-Sufficient Families, and A A n I ---I r--:l.. n --A n--:l: State of Florida Departnient of Children and Faniilies Charlie Crist Governor George H. Sheldon Secretary Purchase and Product Description The Leadership Practice Inventory 360 Online (LPI) is a web application designed to electronically administer the LPI. With this system: - Leaders (participants) and Observers (participants' direct reports, colleagues, and supervisors) are easily tracked and securely managed through unique username/passwords for every individual leader and each observer. - Assessment responses are accurately recorded. - Scoring is automated. - Feedback reports can be generated immediately and are accessible from any web-enabled corr~puter Using the LPI Online web-based system, an LPI Administrator creates an LPI 360 assignment, establishing due dates, customizing the content with essay questions, as appropriate, and designating an individual Leader to the task of completing the assignment. Once an assignment is created, Administrators may retain responsibility for all administrative duties related to the assignment, may temporarily share some or all of the administrative responsibilities of this assignment with another adminis.trator, or may permanently transfer all future administration of this assignment to another administrator. The LPI Self assessment is completed by the Leader, while the LPI Observer is completed by others invited to participate in.this process by the Leader. Observers typically include managers, direct reports, co-workers, or others with direct experience of the individual in a leadership role. Each assessment contains 30 statements describing specific leadership behaviors, rated on a 1 to 10 point frequency scale, and takes approximately minutes to complete. Product Background with DCF The Leadership Challenge and its Leadership Practices have been adopted by the Department of Children and Families as a leadership model that is both well-founded and appropriate for our needs. We have at this time placed nearly 200 leaders through the program including our executive staff, and will cascade the model throughout the layers of the organization. Because the LPI is the only instrument that measures the Practices defined by this model, it is a necessary component to build the critical mass that will implement the Leadership Challenge throughout our organization state-wide. Use of any other instrument would negate previous use of the Leadership Challenge model by measuring elements not of interest, and would null the validity of any work with both models Winewood Boulevard, Tallahassee, Florida
