Formula Used
Leadership Performance Index (LPI) is a weighted composite score.
LPI = Σ (Normalized Metric Score × Metric Weight) / 100
Direct Metrics
Direct metrics already use a 0 to 100 scale.
Normalized Direct Score = Raw Percentage Score
Reverse Metrics
Some lower-is-better values are converted into performance scores.
Budget Score = max(0, 100 × (1 − Budget Variance / 25))
Turnover Score = max(0, 100 × (1 − Voluntary Turnover / 20))
Absence Score = max(0, 100 × (1 − Absenteeism / 8))

|---|---|
| Balanced | Spreads weight across people, delivery, culture, and business control metrics. |
| Growth | Raises emphasis on strategy, goals, and innovation to support scaling teams. |

FAQs
1. What does this calculator measure?
It measures leadership effectiveness through a weighted mix of people, execution, culture, and business control indicators. The result summarizes leadership performance on a 100-point scale.
2. Why are some metrics reversed?
Budget variance, voluntary turnover, and absenteeism are better when lower. The calculator converts them into positive performance scores so every metric can contribute consistently.
3. Which weight profile should I choose?
Balanced fits most reviews. Growth suits scaling teams and innovation-heavy roles. Stability suits mature teams that depend on strong engagement, retention, and delivery reliability.
4. Can I use survey data here?
Yes. Team engagement, decision quality, coaching, innovation, and stakeholder satisfaction can come from surveys, scorecards, or calibrated review panels.
5. What is a good Leadership Performance Index score?
A score above 80 usually indicates strong leadership performance. Scores above 90 suggest highly reliable outcomes with fewer operational and people-related risks.
6. How often should I calculate the index?
Quarterly works well for most teams. Monthly can help in fast-changing environments, while annual use is best for broad review and succession discussions.
7. Can this support succession planning?
Yes. The index helps compare leaders using a consistent structure. It is especially useful when paired with competency, potential, and readiness assessments.
8. Does this replace human judgment?
No. It supports decision-making with structured evidence. Final performance discussions should still include context, role complexity, business change, and qualitative leadership impact.
