True Leadership
Leadership is the art of mobilizing a group of people who want to work toward a common goal.
We increase the capacity of each individual to lead.
Kouzes and Pozner, 2003.
LDI develops leaders for organizational success
Leadership development is now rated as the highest priority for human capital development in organizations. Leadership development affects all levels of an organization. Those who focus on building leadership capacity in their workforce outperform peers by up to 13 times in key bottom-line outcomes (Boatman et al, 2012).
LDI develops leaders for social impact
LDI cultivates talent that moves organizations forward by focusing on the individual’s personal leadership practices inventory. Through assessment and coaching specific to each person, the LDI develops the behaviors, skills, and competencies necessary for each person to move his or her own needle of leadership effectiveness.
