The LBI-2 is a fully South African 360° leadership questionnaire which assesses the extent to which a leader or manager demonstrates specific behaviours needed to develop and implement a challenging vision for the organisation, a work unit, department or project team.
This is achieved through an easy-to-use 360 questionnaire that asks superiors, peers and followers to rate the frequency with which they observe specific leadership behaviours. Each category: supervisor, peer, and follower – requires at least 4 (maximum of 60) individuals to rate the leader or manager being assessed – this ensures anonymity of the raters.
Since the assessment focus is on observable behaviours, the candidate should have been exposed to, or had experience of being a leader or managing a team. It is essential that a minimum of five respondents be involved; the candidate (who must complete the self-assessment, including the biographical section) and four other respondents (to do ratings).
Assessment Scales
The LBI-2 model comprises three key processes and 20 dimensions:
Energy and Drive: Energy, Ambition, Leadership, Social Confidence, Persuasion, Initiative, Flexibility, Multi-tasking
Creating Vision and Strategy : (Analysing and interpreting the environment; Formulating the vision and strategy)
Preparing the unit for Implementing the Vision and Strategy : (Preparing the leader and followers; Preparing the unit)
Implementing The Vision And Strategy : Innovation, Analytical Thinking
Areas of Application
- To provide leaders with comprehensive insight into an individual’s leadership behaviours across the leadership-management spectrum.
- To provide a good overview of the collective leadership capacity of a particular team, department, unit or region.
- To form part of an initiative aiming at accelerating the learning and growth of designated candidates.
- LBI-2 pre- and post-leadership measures can be utilised to determine the effectiveness of various organisational interventions.
