Values-Based Leadership
Working with the same group of leaders, we architect a system of values (and associated behaviors) that feels indigenous to your company and aligns with your purpose. Expanding this value system into a comprehensive leadership philosophy, we inform internal leadership development initiatives and redefine your company’s means of measuring and rewarding performance. Giving team members the tools to truly “live” their values and purpose, we cultivate leaders equipped to inspire talent, foster innovation, and promote growth.
Connect within. Lead beyond.
Communication
We then help carefully infuse your company’s newly-defined purpose-driven strategy and values-based leadership philosophy into the hearts and minds of your personnel. Through workshops, coaching programs, and online learning platforms, we ensure that everyone is along for the ride.
Connect within. Lead beyond.
Leadership Development
Certain individuals are capable of setting the standard for an entire organization. Our Leadership Development program is customized to your particular organizational needs, and informed by the eight character traits of Lead by Greatness®. For senior and high-potential executives, we offer a combination of interactive workshops and one-on-one coaching. For other staff, we offer team development, alignment workshops, train-the-trainer programs, webinars, and the Lapin Online Leadership Academy (LOLA).
Connect within. Lead beyond.
Evaluating Outcomes
We meet with leadership at regular intervals to monitor our agreed-upon metrics, track progress, plan next steps, and recalibrate the program as needed.
The very act of you going out to make money is a benevolent act… If you pursue money, if your goal is money, then I don’t really want to do business with you. I don’t wanna buy a used car from you… Who do I buy them from? … Because we have a relationship and he’s not trying to pawn me off with something that helps him and hurts me.
