A clear line of sight between purpose and leadership development strategies allow individuals and organizations to demonstrate and use their learning in real-life situations.

The Lotus Team has spent years developing clear strategies for learning and developing leadership capacity. This includes improved adult development, better understanding of authority dynamics, and enhanced ability for managing transitions.

Lotus Leadership Institute has identified a clear problem—“Transitional Traps”. These traps act as roadblocks for individuals and organizations and prevent us from maximizing our potential and achieving our purpose. The Lotus solution to these traps is based on strategies that inform every aspect of the company—from our academic research and writing, to our workshops and consulting projects.

Transitional Traps:

• Often, current problems cannot be solved using the same perspectives and mind-sets.
• People have a tendency to replicate the same processes—even ones that are not effective—thus deepening the problems we face.
• Issues of power and authority create complex dynamics that can negatively impact the ability to work with others and manage change.
• Organizations can become derailed when they lose sight of purpose.

Lotus Strategies:

1. Purpose / Vision: having a clear sense of our direction and what we want to accomplish
2. Participation and Commitment: Engaging and motivating people to think, act, and feel. Maintaining contact with clients to ensure life-long development
3. Accountability and Evaluation: Owning responsibility and constantly assessing progress, process, and practice.
4. Design, content and curriculum: Creative and unique material devised to help you meet the complex challenges of contemporary life.
5. Personnel and delivery: Employing high-level, committed individuals
   dedicated to the Lotus Leadership purpose and model.
6. Outcome and Objectives: Establishing criteria that blends the Lotus Leadership model with clients purpose and goals
7. Social Responsibility: Inclusive accessibility to programs and services in the efforts to make the world a better place for women
8. Innovation and Education: continued education, progressive thinking and constant pursuit of organizational improvement.

The Lotus approach to leadership development will improve not only how you act, but how you think. You will become better able to recognize and ultimately avoid the transitional traps described above.
