WHAT IS THE LIFE STYLE INVENTORY TOOL?

It is a tool that measures a current level of  leadership effectiveness based on 12 specific patterns or “styles” of thinking, behaving, and interacting. 
This Identifies strengths, as well as areas that need to be developed. It creates awareness of constructive behavior.
The life style inventory ( LSI) provides you with an important opportunity to look at your thinking and behaviour. The LSI 1 (self description) helps you to recognise those thinking styles which work to your advantage and are effective, as well as any thinking styles which are self - defeating or working to your personal disadvantage. The LSI 2 (description by others) gives you essential feedback on how others see you behaving and therefore how they react to you as a person, team member or manager.

Through over 20 years of research, Human synergistics has established that there are certain styles that 
are ineffective, some which are marginal, some adequate, and some clearly associated with excellence. By knowing your style and comparing it to a reference group, you can benchmark your own performance against others and thus evaluate your present level of effectiveness.

Over the past decade leaders as well as other professionals from a variery of organisations in Australia and New Zealand have used Human Synergistics Life Styles Inventory ( LSI) to assess, evaluate, and improve their thinking and behaviour styles.
It is a reliable and valid tool used in a large number of organisations and created by key researchers including Dr Abraham Maslow.
