It gives you a way into understanding how are you doing as a leader, it literally tells you how you compare with other leaders in the world who have take the LCP (more than 150,000 leaders world wide). It helps you to see what is the mind set from which you are operating, how you make sense of the world around you, how do you navigate this universal need, this tension we all find ourselves into between safety and purpose, how are we balancing meeting our objectives and looking after the relationships that will makes those objectives possible.
