“We engaged LSA Global to facilitate an important senior leadership summit. I was impressed by how well their consultant understood the dynamic of our group, our intent and what we wanted to achieve.

I was especially happy with how well the consultant allowed the thought leaders the space to get their point across. Nicely done!”
Joydeep Ganguly | Head of Operations | Gilead Sciences

“Thank you for a unique and great leadership development training session today. The facilitator was brilliant, and we really enjoyed his style and personality. The team got a lot out of it (as did I).

I believe it will help us create an even higher performance culture. It really opened our eyes.”

Leadership development training can play an important role in a leader’s ability to succeed.  Whether it is executing the strategy, leading and managing change, leading their team, collaborating with others, or creating a high performance environment, leaders are expected to build, engage and inspire their team to peak performance.

To succeed, leadership development training programs must equip leaders with the knowledge and skills to impact business results.  Yet, a recent Leadership Study found that 97% of organizations surveyed site significant leadership skill gaps.  A whopping 40% of those surveyed say that those leadership skill gaps are acute. This does not surprise us.  Leaders are certainly struggling to keep up.

Once your strategy is clear enough and your high performance culture is aligned, we help leaders to build the skills and knowledge to succeed:

  • Leadership Action Learning
    Our customized Leadership Action Learning programs teach leaders the critical few skills required to succeed for your unique situation while getting real work done.  Leadership Action Learning allows participants to work on important business initiatives, in diverse teams, to both increase their leadership skills and measurably improve business performance.

    This proven and award-winning approach closes the gap between theory and practice by enabling participants to immediately apply lessons learned to relevant business priorities rather than academic cases.

  • Executive Coaching
    Successful executive coaching takes a skilled professional using a disciplined process to provide observations, recommendations and tools to a business leader in order to improve that leader’s skills, capabilities, and performance.

    Typically we coach executives to improve performance, support, or enable a promotion or to provide fresh insights and perspectives.

  • Leadership Simulations for High Stakes Roles
    Significant leadership failure risks can be prevented with the help of targeted leadership simulation assessments using proven technology and research-backed behavioral science.

    Place leaders in a research-backed simulation of their future role to measure their readiness and benchmark their capabilities against your leadership competencies and a global pool of leaders in similar roles.

  • Change Leadership and Navigation
    Our customized Leading Change workshop is designed for executives, leaders, and managers who must effectively guide others through the process of change. It is ideal for organizations that are experiencing major or ongoing change and wish to engage and empower their people.

    Our customized Mastering Organizational Resiliency workshop is designed for individual contributors who are experiencing a major change, or ongoing change, in the workplace.

    Participants focus on ways to understand the phases of change, then learn and practice the skills needed to effectively assess the change and guide themselves through it in a more healthy and productive manner.

  • High Performance Leadership Training
    High performance leaders ensure individual, team, and organizational alignment.  Based upon over 25 years of research, learn how to align your strategy, culture, and talent to outperform the competition and perform at your peak.
  • Succession Planning
    Our customized succession planning identifies future leaders and key contributors in the organization and creates targeted and practical development plans to ensure their readiness for future roles. The deliverables include action plans for developing your most strategic and senior-level talent.

    The process helps to identify who has potential and the critical few development areas for career transitions.

Our research-backed, proven and systemic approach to leadership development training helps leaders get everyone pointed in the right direction,  shape the performance environment for everyone to perform at their peak and build a differentiated workforce that creates a competitive advantage.

Ask us about Leadership Development Training Pay-for-Performance options and how to move the leadership metrics that you care most about.  Typical metrics that we move include:

  • Sales revenue, margin, win rate, portfolio mix, deal size, and cycle time
  • Customer acquisition, loyalty, growth, and satisfaction
  • Leadership execution effectiveness of key corporate strategies
  • Employee attraction, development, performance, engagement and retention.
  • Project cost, quality, and time

What a refreshing change from the half-baked psycho-babble you normally get from training and consulting organizations. LSA gives you the practical and results-oriented assistance you need to define and reach your goals.

Their leadership, management, and sales expertise has been invaluable.  They think strategically and provide a results driven plan – not just a temporary fix.

They are great to work with, and even more importantly, they “get it!”

LSA’s executive coach based his approach on understanding our business circumstances and strategy, as well as our leadership aspirations. The customized coaching covered all aspects of leadership; it was not simply a touchy-feely endeavor.

LSA consistently delivers for me and my team.  Recently they demonstrated the criticality for executives to look beyond current ethics topics and focus on applying fundamental values in everything they do to demonstrate true leadership. They successfully delivered in two hours what most leadership development facilitators would spend an entire day trying to communicate.
