Leadership Growth in Action/LGA applies a range of business, management, operations, organizational development and change expertise and experience to help clients create outstanding business results and a culture where people can be fully authentic, engaged, and constructive.

THE LGA CONSULTING APPROACH
Our consulting clients want to maximize transparency, engagement, productivity and trust, and minimize conflict, disruption, and resource drain and pain. Similar to our coaching clients, they recognize that their enterprise success depends on:
- Navigating complex challenges and changes in their markets and ways of doing business
- Skillful and strategic communication in multiple contexts, media, channels and forums, with diverse local and remote stakeholders
- Making the most of every available resource
- Leading, coaching, and teaming with multiple often distant stakeholders and strategic partners
- Cultivating a culture that values and rewards leadership, innovation, integrity, excellence, transparency, collaboration, diversity, responsibility and development
- Turning on a dime in response to dramatic shifts in client or other stakeholder needs
- Continually innovating despite increased risk and resource constraints
- Consistent responsiveness, energy and engagement with clients and prospects
- Constructively resolving conflicts among sometimes difficult board members, peers, partners, staff and rival stakeholders
- Balancing competing operational priorities and meeting deliverable dates and quality standards
- Overcoming overwork and overwhelm
- Personal as well as professional mastery and maturity
- Staying financially, functionally and physically healthy and vital while under intense stress
As a trusted consulting partner, LGA helps clients decipher, design and deliver practical and cost-effective solutions for issues like these.
Tapping a virtual network of coaches, consultants and specialists, LGA helps clients define high-impact outcomes and success measures and also create practical action plans that navigate potential issues, obstacles and resistance, using high-engagement team development and deployment.
Our organization effectiveness engagements target specific development and growth challenges and opportunities in support of strategic business and mission-driven outcomes, goals, change initiatives and performance improvements. We address the people side of business as the source of operational and financial success.
LGA engagements typically use a seven-step approach that is adapted to specific client timing requirements and resource availability. The seven-step process defines desired outcomes, gathers and synthesizes key data, explores alternative solutions, engages stakeholder ownership of planning and execution, and provides a unique debrief and follow-up step for completion.
LGA partners with clients in advisory/coaching mode, project mode, or a combination of both, depending on client need and resource capability/capacity. Regardless of the agreed-upon consulting mode, LGA’s organizational effectiveness services incorporate design and facilitation of key kick-off, brainstorming and progress meetings, and delivery of relevant leadership and team learning activities and materials at key points throughout the engagement.
