The responses you provide to the Life Styles InventoryTM (LSI) will be scored and analysed to generate feedback that will be used for leadership, management, and/or individual development.
The feedback reports developed on the basis of LSI data describe individuals’ thinking and behavioural styles, the functional and dysfunctional aspects of these styles and, in some cases, personal effectiveness and satisfaction. These reports include tables and figures that summarise the survey responses by the focal individual (e.g., the leader or member participating in the development program) profiled against descriptions provided by others such as peers, direct reports, or superiors. Responses by individual others are combined with those by at least two additional people, except in certain cases in which superiors have consented to have their responses reported separately.
The feedback reports are provided to recipients in either electronic or hard-copy format through the consultant, trainer, or coach administering the development program. Note that in most programs, HSI delivers feedback reports indirectly via program administrators rather than directly to the individuals being described. If you do not know who is administering the program in which the LSI is being used, you can contact your supervisor or human resources department to discuss how and by whom the report will be delivered.
The survey results are intended to support personal and professional development initiatives and will be used by the focal individuals to establish action plans. Therefore, HSI reserves the right to correct any data collection errors or omissions that would otherwise affect the accuracy or completeness of the feedback provided to the individuals participating in the development program.
Data summarised in individual feedback reports within organisations, departments, courses, or training sessions might be combined with data in similar reports to generate composite results and group-level reports. In developing these reports, personally identifiable data are aggregated in ways that maintain individuals’ confidentiality.
