See the Research Basis

The Leadership Versatility Index (LVI) is a reliable and valid feedback tool including several innovations developed through the interplay of practice and science. In fact, the innovations are so well-founded and so unique, that we were awarded a business-method patent for them.

The program of research behind the LVI is fully documented in the Appendix of the book, The Versatile Leader. Additionally, this information has been presented in various peer-reviewed publications, professional conferences, and technical reports. Below is a sampling of papers you can access.
