Leadership Management International (LMI)

Leadership Management International (LMI) Producing measurable results for business and industry since 1966

What Can LMI Do For You?

Leadership Management International, Inc. has had the privilege of working with companies in over 80 countries and in over 27 different languages (including Arabic). To us, this proves that although we are all culturally different, the basic fundamentals of the business remain the same.

In today’s society, businesses need leaders not just at the top of the organizational chart, but throughout the entire organization at every level. We believe that anyone can become an outstanding leader if they tap into the full potential that is within them. Whether a CEO, or a brand-new intern in a company, you can lead, achieve goals you never thought imaginable, and make progress towards success. To us, the definition of success is, “The progressive realization of worthwhile, predetermined personal goals.” LMI’s proven concept can help you achieve the same success that thousands of others all over the world have already achieved.

ARE YOU MAKING THE PROGRESS YOU ARE CAPABLE OF MAKING WITH WHAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY DOING?

Why LMI?

13% of workers are truely passionate about their work
77% of organizations overall are currently experiencing a leadership gap.
56% of organizations are not ready to meet leadership needs.
63% of Millennials feel their leadership skills are not being fully developed by their employers.

There is a massive gap between current leadership and new, younger talent. For organizations to succeed, this gapmust be bridged.
Too many organizations rely on the same leadership that has been in charge for years with no recognition that 10,000 Baby Boomers are retiring every day. While organizations continue to rely on these leaders, they should be aggressively training upcoming talent on how to lead the company into the future.
A survey conducted by Sarah Payne, managing editor at Globoforce, found that 93% of managers need training on coaching employees. However, according to Chief Learning Officer Media, the majority of organizations (68%) spend less than $4,000 per year per person on leadership development.

Why Not Start Now?

Leadership Development is Needed – Why Not Start Now?

83% Organization say it is important to develop leaders at all levels.
5% Organization have fully implemented development at all levels.

Gallup’s research shows that only about 10% of people have the natural talent to manage others and only 22% of employees strongly agree their leaders have a clear direction for their organization.

For businesses to become truly successful and innovative enterprises, they must develop and implement these strategies throughout the entire organization. The organization of the future is an organization where everyone — from top to bottom— knows, understands, and accepts the mission, vision, values, and goals of the company. It is only when everyone in the organization is working together in the same direction and toward the same goals that the organization becomes truly successful.

Education and training are great, but they are short-term, transactional solutions and rarely provide a strong ROI or long-term results.

Development on the other hand leads to long-term transformational growth and a compounding ROI.
In a world where budgets are tight and competition is fierce, growth and ROI are more important than ever before.

However, only 10% of CEOs believe current initiatives have a clear impact on their business

The LMI Process®

As you can see, by reviewing information each and everyday using spaced repetition, one begins to internalize what they are learning. Instead of letting information fly in one ear and out the other, the information is truly absorbed into your long-term memory bank.
According to Professor Gabe Teninbaum, a Suffolk Law faculty member, “by using spaced repetition, users are projected to remember 92% of the material.”
When was the last time participants remembered 92% of a workshop, lecture, or seminar?

Personalized Development Process

Through decades of results and feedback from clients all over the world, we know that when it comes to developing leaders and organizations, seminars and lectures don’t deliver long-lasting results. Instead, we work with small groups, covering time-tested, proven principles in a series of short action-oriented sessions. We hold the sessions regularly, and every step of the way, we are there to ensure that your organization gets the focused attention and support it needs. More importantly, we can provide these services at your workplace, eliminating costly travel expenses and major downtime for you and your staff.

Over the course of several weeks, we will guide you through a personalized development process that results in change — measurable, long-lasting change. Rather than following the advice of some business guru or focusing on what current management fads seem important, we start by meeting wif you to determine exactly what you want to accomplish. We focus on what’s important to you. Your goals become the driving force behind our results-centered development process, a process that follows four broad steps: Evaluation - Plan - Change - Measurement

Step 1 – Evaluating Performance

Starting with the results you want to achieve, we evaluate where your people are now. Based on our findings, we can determine the performance gap.

Step 2 – Developing a Plan of Action

By identifying the changes that need to take place, we help you set specific and measurable goals and develop a detailed plan of action. Participants immediately begin applying techniques designed to help them change their behavior and foster the new habits that will lead to the results they want.

Step 3 – Changing Behavior

Implementing the process over several weeks has many benefits. Participants don’t feel overwhelmed and have sufficient time to master each step and change their attitudes and mental models. More importantly, new behaviors are applied directly to real business issues. Because of this unique development process, we can hard-wire these changes into your organization to ensure long-term, ongoing results.

Step 4 – Measuring Results

Our goal is to develop long-term relationships with our clients. To do that, our process must deliver not only results but also a high return on investment. We will help you document your investment performance and identify additional areas for continuous improvement. Developing your people should be a positive investment, not an expense.

Program developing managers which helps to close skills gaps at an organizational level. But they also help to close that gap on a personal level for new and up-and-coming managers.

For instance, it creates a lack of consistency in managers and management styles across an organization. Our program helps upskill these candidates. And, it also establishes consistency for how management is done.

4- Effective Leadership Development (ELD)

Faulty communication and poor leadership are, unfortunately, the bane of many companies. Regardless of employee talent or product quality, if an organization’s leaders aren’t effectively communicating, managing, delegating, and increasing productivity, that organization will remain stagnant instead of moving forward toward its goals. Not only will products and people fail to reach their full potential, the atmosphere, morale, and productivity of the organization will suffer immensely. Talented employees may even become disgruntled and leave, while those who remain question the value of their work and the overall direction of the organization.
Thankfully, great leadership can be developed and good communication can be taught. Any organization, no matter what its current situation, can be turned around and improved. The key to Effective Leadership Development lies in training and motivating people to a higher level of productivity.

LMI’s multi-phase Effective Leadership Development program is designed to help current leaders realize the full weight of their actions and learn to lead with authority and conviction. It will also help develop new leaders and equip them with all the tools to motivate and nurture people to their maximum potential.
