When You Have a Clear Vision and Your Leaders Are Executing, You Can...
At LR, we know you are the kind of business leader who wants your people and company to flourish.
In order to do that, you need a clear strategic vision and strong leaders to execute it.
The problem is, it’s easy to get caught up working in the business rather than on the business, which often results in a cloudy path to success for you and your team.
We believe it’s a leader’s top priority to preserve the long-term success of their company, and we understand alignment seems unachievable at times.
That’s why we’ve spent decades helping companies create operational excellence and invest in their most valuable asset, their people.

How do you get more comfortable being uncomfortable?
Do you become aggressive and lash out? Turn into a people pleaser? Get out of the situation as quick as possible?
These are all common reactions.
Take a moment to look at how you respond in moments of discomfort and…
1. Recognize your patterns
2. Get specific about what you’re experiencing (emotional granularity)
3. Use this insight to influence how you relate and communicate with others
These intentional steps will help you grow in your leadership and connection with yourself and others.
