Who is the LSP-R Administrator’s Guide for?
The LSP-R Administrator’s Guide is meant for anyone who may be taking the LSP-R themselves, and/or coaching others through the process. Any leader can take the LSP-R, and use the guide to structure their own planning and reflection. Managers may also choose to administer the LSP-R for the purpose of assessing and developing their team. Others who may be interested in using the LSP-R Administrator’s Guide include HR professionals, talent development managers, CEOs and other executives looking to implement company-wide development.
Using the guide for leadership assessment & development

LSP-R Leadership Assessment
Never heard of the LSP-R before? Here’s a quick introduction: The LSP-R is a personality-based assessment of leadership skills that can be used to guide leadership development efforts. The test scores individuals on 50 leadership competencies including cognitive, personal, interpersonal, and senior leadership skills. Everyone who takes the LSP-R will automatically receive a Focus Report which includes a summary of scores and analysis of results, as well as templates and activities for creating a personalized development plan.
