Every organization has developed a culture over the years composed of spoken and unspoken
norms of what is accepted or encouraged and what is not. Some cultural traits are essential to the
success of the organization and to its identity, while others are detrimental. Ingrained in employees'
and leaders’ very habits, these tendencies remain unchallenged for lack of understanding and tools
for how to address them.
Most organizations fail to improve their culture because they attempt to do it by changing the
organizational structures, such as one more reorganization. We fail to realize, however, that
unproductive individual and collective behaviors will adapt to any structural change. The real lever
lies in helping people change the way they think and behave first, and then before adjusting the
structures to support this change effort. Like no one else, Learning as Leadership will support you
to create a revolution in your organization’s evolution through addressing these behavioral issues
at their core.
STEP 1- Bringing the leaders to their next level
Before exposing an entire organization to our tools, we believe the leaders need to have deeply
understood the roots of their contribution to the counter-productive cultural traits and have the tools to
consistently approach them differently. They need to have reached their next level of leadership
and become the role models of change. Knowing that human beings are
most receptive to change they see and not change they are told to make,
a comprehensive training (4-Mastery) of the management team(s) is key
for this endeavor to succeed.
In short, We-Lead will only be made available to organizations whose
leadership team has previously attended our 4-Mastery program.
STEP 2- Rolling out the culture enhancement into the organization
Over our 25 years of experience, we have observed that although corporate environments are quite
different, they are all limited by a common set of unproductive cultural traits. Among the most
pervasive traits to address are conflict avoidance, Us vs. Them dynamics, aversion to feedback
& criticism, and working tactically / fire-fighting. We-Lead is a carefully architected onsite program
that addresses all of the above topics for middle managers, supervisors and staff.
The Program:

MODULE IV
Session 4 - Working Strategically 2 Days

*Each Module is composed of a two-day on-site class, followed by an individual Written Review
(completed by the participant on-line and corrected by a We-Lead facilitator) and a one-day on-site
Application Day workshop to solidify the understanding of the tools and anchor the learnings from
the class. Each module builds on the lessons of the previous one(s)
**Module III includes a round of LaL’s unique 360º Feedback collection. In addition, it can be customized
to address specific issues on which an organization or an individual may want feedback.
