Repacking of a leadership classic
Kouzes and Posner are the coauthors of The Leadership Challenge, one of the classic leadership books. In this book, they have repackaged those ideas for an academic audience. While the ideas are not new, this recontextualization is very effective for applying them to the academic setting.

Excellent coaching tool Kudos to Kouzes!
I use this product one of the main tools for coaching. The LPI is a fantastic diagnositic tool. What is most important is that it describes the functional behaviors behind general leadership categories; such as Inspiring a Shared Vision and Modeling the Way. Some people have a difficult time getting a handle on what those general categories look like. The LPI helps them with specific behaviors ...

Required reading for a course...now a dust collector
I wouldn't have bought this after skimming it prior to the course. It's so repetitive and tries so hard to be one of those feel good organizational development books that just repeats what many of the other books out there are already saying. This really could have been a 30 page powerpoint.
