Leadership Development Programs

“It was a challenge to find a consulting firm with an approach to leadership development and performance improvement that fit our unique corporate culture and strategy. When we met with LSA, we were surprised to discover their depth of expertise in the fields of motivation, developmental coaching, performance management and measurement. As they began to implement, I was thoroughly impressed with how they listened and made adaptations focused on our needs and business objectives. Overall, I couldn’t be happier that we found a leadership partner in LSA.”
Doug Hansen | President and Director | Redwood Trust

“LSA’s ability to get a group of 20+ executives from around the globe on the same page, push their thinking to new heights, and ensure an executable plan was excellent. I would recommend LSA to anyone looking to take their leaders and execution to the next level.”
Rob Sturgeon | Executive Vice President | ServiceSource

Today’s leaders are facing issues without precedent. Executives face complex, large-scale tasks with uncertain rules while often having to deal with other high-powered decision makers who are used to getting their way.

According to executives, the complexities confronting leaders are here to stay across five key leadership challenges:

Improving strategic clarity, execution, and results
Aligning the workforce with a new strategic direction
Creating a high performance culture to drive the strategy forward in the short- and long-term
Attracting, developing, engaging and retaining top talent at the right pace
Aligning talent strategies with business strategies and the organization’s culture

While focused leadership development can certainly play a critical role, leadership skills alone will not fully address the growth, performance, and competition challenges faced by leaders. Senior Leaders must also address strategies, cultures, processes and structures to drive lasting change.

Our Organizational Alignment Research found that leaders who align their culture and talent with their strategy grow revenues 58% faster, are 72% more profitable, have 9-1-to-1 greater leadership effectiveness and 16.8-to-1 higher employee engagement levels. Our leadership study found that the highest performing leaders:

Create strategic clarity by ensuring their teams clearly understand the strategy, have no doubt that leadership is fully committed to the strategy, are highly responsive to change, and believe colleagues are consistently implementing the strategy successfully throughout the organization.
Build high performance cultures by ensuring their teams clearly understand the desired culture, frequently observe the majority of leaders modeling the desired culture, regularly feel the culture motivates top performance, repeatedly receive and share information in a timely manner, and continually believe decisions demonstrate a healthy short- and long- term balance.
Differentiate top talent by ensuring their teams believe the quality of talent creates a competitive edge, repeatedly observe the company hiring top talent and retaining the majority of their top performers, continually have unfettered access to the resources necessary to succeed in their jobs, and reliably respond positively to required changes.

Our research-backed, proven and systemic approach to leadership development 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.

Thank you for a great leadership development session today. The facilitator was brilliant, and we really enjoyed his style and personality. The sales team got a lot out of it (as did I). I believe it will help us create an even higher performance environment by ensuring we have a common understanding of our environmental structure and are all working towards the same goals.

As a high growth digital marketing agency with cutting edge talent, we hired LSA Global to help clarify our strategy and work with our executive leadership team to help implement strategic changes in a way that made sense for our unique culture. The work was so successful that we also hired them to coach our key leaders. LSA has been instrumental in helping us transition to a new leadership team and triple revenue. In this age of useless consultants, I highly recommend their practical and business-oriented approach to strategy, culture and talent.

We signed up with LSA early on – as their 22nd Member! Since then, our organization’s learning needs have increased and decreased and increased again with the changing times. The beauty of the LSA business model is its flexibility. When we need to supplement our own internal skills or resources, we use LSA knowing that we can depend on outstanding quality advice and solutions every time.

Margie Bunting

LSA 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 presenters would spend an entire day trying to communicate.

Nick Voyvodich, SPHR
HR Manager

We have had a very beneficial partnership with LSA for over 2 years. The recent Leadership Development Program that they designed and customized with us to help us identify, develop, and retain top leaders in the organization was a huge success. It was instrumental in helping take our company and our key people to the next level. I would recommend their training and consulting services to anyone looking to develop and retain top talent.
