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.”

“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.”

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.
