Leadership Consulting
Nurturing Leadership Skills for a Competitive World

In today’s fast-paced business environment, the demand for strong leaders at every organizational level is more critical than ever. However, many companies mistakenly promote individuals to leadership positions without formal training, assuming that those who excel in their roles inherently possess leadership potential. This assumption often falls short, with great cost for organizations. The good news is that everybody can learn: Research from the University of Illinois indicates that leadership is 30% genetic and 70% developed through training and experience.

That’s where Leadership Consulting (LC) comes in. As a premier leadership and organizational development consulting firm, LC offers customized programs designed to prepare individuals to be more effective leaders. Their evidence-based solutions leverage leaders’ untapped abilities by implementing targeted improvement plans. These plans are tailored to individual strengths and critical weaknesses, aligning each participant’s competencies, passions, and organizational needs to create a sweet spot for optimal learning.

LC is proud to represent Zenger Folkman, one of the most prominent and recognized global providers that bring science to the art of leadership. For over a decade, LC has utilized Zenger Folkman’s tools with C-suite executives across various sectors. Programs like “The Extraordinary Leader” which includes a 360-degree assessment, “Elevating Feedback,” and “Trifecta of Trust” provide robust tools to measure outcomes before and after interventions, ensuring significant enhancement of leadership competencies.

A testament to LC’s impact is their work with a client in the science sector using The Extraordinary Leader program. Over five years, the average leadership effectiveness in the organization rose from the 18th percentile to the 42nd percentile. Employee engagement improved from the 50th percentile to the 65th percentile, and all 19 differentiating leadership competencies improved, especially in the interpersonal relationships cluster – a crucial area in scientific organizations.

“We are on a mission to develop society by strengthening the leadership skills of current and future leaders in Chile and other countries in the region,” says Carolina Henning, partner at LC.

Their interactions with clients and leading companies have revealed a common issue: many are promoted to executive levels without sufficient leadership skills. Also, results obtained with isolated actions and unproven methodologies have not allowed organizations to see the positive impact that leadership programs can have, when they are done correctly. How can companies ensure tomorrow’s leaders are equipped for the challenges of a rapidly changing world? The answer lies in early and continuous leadership training, not waiting until individuals reach the C-suite.

To meet this need, LC created Leadership Lab, a team dedicated to developing practical solutions for aspiring leaders and those with training gaps. Leadership Skills, an affordable program combining online learning with personalized 1:1 coaching, has an impressive NPS of 9.4 for 2023-2024. The team continuously develops and expands the modules, making the program more flexible and customizable, while maintaining a commitment to translating expert theories and evidence-based knowledge into practical tools. If you have an organizational problem related to leadership skills development, Leadership Lab can also create a solution for you.

A cornerstone of LC’s success is their team of certified and experienced coaches, all of them skilled in applying evidence-based methodologies to real-world challenges. With diverse backgrounds in psychology and engineering, they ensure top-notch service for every program participant. The team’s commitment to continuous learning and professional development ensures they stay at the forefront of the latest leadership trends and research. They regularly participate in advanced training programs, workshops, and conferences to enhance their skills and bring fresh insights to their coaching sessions.

LC has successfully collaborated with clients across various sectors, including consulting, retail, healthcare and telecommunications, among others.

“We prioritize building long-term client relationships over one-off transactions. This approach helps us translate clients’ strategic goals into behaviors and cultures at individual, group, and organizational levels,” says Rodrigo Miguel, partner at LC.

In today’s dynamic business landscape, LC stands as a pivotal ally, dedicated to cultivating strong leadership capabilities within organizations. Through evidence-based methodologies and tailored programs, they enhance individual management qualities and foster a culture of continuous improvement and strategic alignment. LC continues to expand its influence, contributing significantly to leadership excellence both locally and globally.
