We tailor how we work with organizational leaders according to their needs and the goals and objectives of their organizations.

Topic: The Principals and Practices of Self-Leadership

For Whom: Senior Management and Mid-Level Management

Self-Leadership is often discussed but rarely practiced by leaders. While the reasons for this neglect are many, the “tyranny of the urgent” as well as a eschewing of so-called “soft” practices in favor of the more technical practices are usually the more popular reasons why self-leadership gets assigned to the back burner. The problem, not often realized until after the damage is done, is that the practice of self-leadership actually lays the groundwork for organizational success and deep personal fulfillment.

Topic: Developing Leaders - Building Leadership Momentum

For Whom: For Trustees, Board Members, and Senior Leaders to Middle Management

Leadership development is at the heart of ILC. Jeff understands the theory and practice of leadership and the requisites for leadership that changes organizations and people. This training can take place in small groups or in an individual coaching format.

Topic: Servant-Leadership Training

For Whom: For Senior Leaders and Middle Management

Robert Greenleaf’s Philosophy of Servant-Leadership changes people, the way they lead, the way they serve people and the way they lead organizations and the way they exercise stewardship beyond the organization. Jeff’s familiarity with Servant-Leadership is extensive. He understands how to operationalize Greenleaf’s understanding of the leader who serves first within the organization.

Topic: Team Performance and Team Processes

For Whom: For Teams seeking to Excel and Teams Seeking to Overcome Performance Barriers

Whether Cross-Functional or Departmental work teams, gaining clarity on team process, purpose and outcomes are challenging.
