Leadership Development

To succeed as a leader in the 21st century, you need to know how to create a high performing organization. Our leadership development experts can help hone your leadership skills through leadership seminars, leadership coaching and online learning.

Leadership Coaching

LRI helps leaders achieve meaningful growth in their skills and capabilities. Our leadership coaches work directly and confidentially with you to leverage your strengths, address your areas of growth, and make you a more effective manager and leader.

We use a variety of assessment tools to help you assess your goals. We then provide best practices, individual counseling, and access to other resources to help you achieve those goals. During a typical coaching engagement, leaders gain clarity about specific practices they may have overlooked to create a high performing organization. Through a process of regular coaching and feedback, the result is real, meaningful change in how you operate as a leader.

Team Development

Successful teams are characterized by clarity of purpose, clear operating rules, strong communication, and high levels of trust. Using the "Five Habits of High Performing Teams," we help teams improve communication, develop sound operating principles, and create clear measures of success. The result is significantly higher levels of trust, productivity, and team accountability.

Succession Planning

We help clients develop effective succession plans to ensure a sustained level of leadership. One of the most important parts of succession planning is defining the competencies critical to the organization's success. Whether for a board of directors or an executive team, LRI can help prioritize the qualities and leadership practices most important to success.

Once the competency model is complete and high potential individuals are identified, we help our clients focus on the relationship of these individuals to the larger context of the leadership team and the organization - and develop strategies to give them the exposure they need. This integrated approach helps ensure that the organization develops the "bench strength" it needs.

Executive Transitions

The initial phase of assuming an executive appointment or elected office is critical to long-term success. This high-pressure formation period may involve several weeks or months when it seems that everything must be done immediately and there are extreme demands on your time.

LRI provides practical and customized approaches to facilitate your transition and ensure your office supports your goals. Our experts provide consulting and coaching services to the executive and the direct support staff team in making decisions, creating solutions, delineating short-term and long-term activities, and coordinating diverse responsibility areas. Your team will quickly develop expertise with practical techniques to get organized, obtain knowledge, implement essential structures, develop efficient processes, and accomplish key objectives.
