Intrigued by the original and powerful concepts of this work, a number of scholars and researchers on the cutting edge of their fields have incorporated LaL’s methodology into their writing and research.
Influencing Academic Research
Considered by many leading academics in business and psychology to be a uniquely transformative leadership program, aspects of LaL’s methodology have been taught at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, Harvard Business School, Darden Business School, and the University of Michigan and Ohio State University PhD programs in Psychology.

Evergreen Research Process
The LaL methodology is a constantly evolving body of work driven by a think tank of researchers and practitioners. Drawing from participant insights, corporate consulting, and interaction with other researchers and thinkers, as well as a demanding regimen of staff experimentation, the facilitation and design team are constantly sharpening LaL’s core tools and concepts to offer the greatest possibility for change and growth.
“LaL provides the very best independent leadership development that I know of.”

“These tools aim at preparing my students to lead from their best self, with awareness of their self-limiting behaviors, greater capacity to learn and grow, and a deeper sense of connection to a larger purpose. They will be empowered to go out and make a difference in the lives of those they lead and those who work with them.”

“I'm fascinated at the overlap between the teachings of LaL and the psychological research literature on people's essential needs, the self-esteem system, and the circumstances that encourage true mastery and relatedness, rather than the illusion of competence and feelings of superiority. It has challenged me to push the envelope of my own research in the field.
