Lewis Pastoral Leadership Inventory

Responding to the need for a leadership development tool specifically designed for clergy, the Lewis Center for Church Leadership is in the process of developing a 360º leadership inventory focusing on practices of effective pastoral leadership. The Lewis Pastoral Leadership Inventory (LPLI) uses online questionnaires to assess how pastors see their strengths and weakness and how they are seen by observers familiar with their pastoral work. This approach integrates self appraisal with peer feedback providing comprehensive input for improvement and growth in ministry. A pilot version of the LPLI was field-tested with over 500 pastors in the fall of 2006, and a second pilot version will be field tested later in 2007. The Lewis Center hopes to make the LPLI more widely available in 2008.
