“LMAP has played an integral part of the accelerated leadership development programs in Asia Pacific and globally at PPG. With the very aggressive growth agenda in the organization, particularly in emerging regions worldwide, funding our growth ambitions with top talent is the most important initiative in the organization. LMAP has brought a new dimension of innovative assessment, feedback and coaching to PPG’s leaders, who have really embraced this aspect of our leadership development initiatives. The level of detail of the assessments, the intimate one-on-one feedback and regular follow-up by the LMAP principals, and the close relationships which have been built between PPG’s leaders and LMAP have enabled us to take a huge step forward in engaging our leaders to be totally committed to their development. The LMAP Pulse process has resulted in the frequent follow-up and attention by our leaders to their development action plans, higher self-awareness, and in improved communications and dialogue between the leaders and their respective teams. Many associates have remarked on significantly positive behavioral changes in our leaders as a result of this program.”
“During the last four years, I have had the pleasure of working with the LMAP team at the Yale School of Management Executive Education Program. I’ve seen first-hand the powerful impact that this unique LMAP 360 perspective has on managers and its efficacy in helping leaders to make the behavioral changes necessary to increase their effectiveness. In fact, I was so impressed by the quality of this assessment process and the 360 degree reports that I introduced LMAP into other executive training programs. The subsequent feedback from the program participants has been very positive. LMAP 360 has been combined successfully with the Decision Making for Leaders (DMFL) assessment tool that I have developed. Our research shows the paired assessments are complementary, and when used together, clearly raise the level of insight and awareness in the executives with whom we work. It’s been a pleasure to partner with the psychologists at LMAP. I appreciate their psychometric rigor, the quality of the LMAP 360 feedback reports, and their willingness to go the extra mile for our clients.”
“The LMAP is one the most sound, accurate and constructive of all assessment instruments. I have worked with firms on top leadership assessment for 32 years and this tool provides the most useful behavioral insights of any and is refreshingly free of the common force fit distortions, simplistic recipes, and feel good clichés. Rather than a slick gimmick, the LMAP is the real thing.”
“My senior leadership team and I found the LMAP experience to be quite powerful and proved to be a catalyst event for our team moving to another level of performance. The comprehensiveness of the instrument coupled with the quality and depth of the feedback was extraordinary. I think all leadership teams that want to be better aligned and more effective could greatly benefit from using LMAP.”
“I just wanted to send you a quick email to tell you how wonderful it was to meet both of you in person and to say thanks for all you did last week to make an incredible impact on the GLP participants. When we did the final evaluations on Friday, it was overwhelming that LMAP was the information they really felt was beneficial to them in their roles. Thank you so much for dedicating so much time to creating a wonderful day for them. Please know that you really made a difference to 20 very key leaders (and one Leadership Development Manager) at Tupperware Brands."
“I am happy to recommend the LMAP Assessment and the services of LMAP LLC. I am in the unique position of having seen hundreds of seasoned managers’ use the LMAP 360 Assessment as a part of a weeklong Executive Development Program at Yale School of Management. In a cirriculum with first-rate scholars and impressive presentations, the LMAP 360 Assessment consistently gets the top ratings. Never have I seen any assessment tool create such a buzz in a group of senior managers and executives. LMAP has a powerful, immediate impact on people. The combination of an intelligent and thoughtful LMAP Report, the 90-minute LMAP presentation, and the interactive exercises, motivates participants to use the feedback constructively. I have seen even the most successful managers moved to action and for many, the LMAP provides important insights and perspective and new ideas on how to grow as a leader. One shortcoming of 360 exercises is that they are an assessment event and not a leadership development process. The LMAP with Pulse Feedback – an automated follow-up survey – offers a credible process for leadership development. The LMAP staff is knowledgeable, accessible, and professional. They are a seasoned lot who draw on years of client engagements and lessons learned. They are happy to go the extra mile, very good at what they do, and refreshingly grateful for our business.”
“Our experience of the LMAP 360 Assessment and of the LMAP Professional Staff has been fantastic. The LMAP 360 is a part of a weeklong BearingPoint leadership development workshop held at the Yale School of Management. Our executives consistently rate LMAP at the top in evaluations. The LMAP is an unusually powerful tool. LMAP Reports help our leaders to think deeply and differently about how their behavior impacts those around them. And, in addition assessing current behaviors, LMAP Reports provide actionable, personalized recommendations on how to become a more effective leader. Including LMAP in our Leadership Development Workshop has proven to be an excellent choice.”
“Going through the LMAP experience was life changing for the leadership team and myself. I had enjoyed a very successful career as a health system CEO and yet I was concerned that the future would require skills of my leaders and I that we did not have. The LMAP provided significant insight regarding the strengths of my leadership as well as targeted some critical areas for improvement. What I realized was that it was less an issue of skill and much more an issue of awareness and armed with that insight I have tried to be the kind of leader that my organization requires. I strongly recommend LMAP as a powerful tool for leadership development.”
“We use LMAP in multiple high potential and senior leadership development programs that we offer at the Yale School of Management. LMAP is consistently rated as one of the most valuable and powerful elements of our curriculum. For some of our executives this is their first experience with a multi-rater, so when we were evaluating alternatives available on the market we were particularly sensitive to the quality of the overall experience, and particularly to the accuracy, tone and user friendliness of the reports. Even though the participant feedback on the LMAP instrument, the reports, and Dr. Warren’s classroom teaching skills are consistently excellent, the LMAP team regularly asks for feedback on how they can improve and provide a better service to us. We couldn’t be more pleased with our decision to select LMAP as our business partner.”
“leadershipForward has had the privilege to work with LMAP for the past eight years. We have used the LMAP 360 Assessment with several thousand of our client leaders and think the LMAP tool provides some of the most comprehensive insights in articulating the factors that underlie leader’s effectiveness. Moreover, we have also greatly appreciated the exceptional and personalized support that we continue to receive from the LMAP team. We strongly recommend the LMAP 360 Assessment to set the stage for successful executive coaching and the LMAP Pulse provides the needed follow-up on behavioral change. We often hear our clients reference their LMAP feedback as a turning point in their leadership development journey. LMAP will always be our leadership assessment tool because the assessment is extraordinarily reliable and proven and because the LMAP Team has proven to be an incredible and trusted business partner.”
“Our consulting firm has been using talent development tools built by Ron Warren since the mid-1980s. We gravitated to his tools early on because of their psychometric rigor and the complexity they were able to capture about personality, character, and emotional intelligence, especially as we compared his tools to all the other ones in the marketplace. And today, some twenty years later, we are still strong proponents of his work, for precisely the same reasons. In our view the LMAP is perhaps the only true ‘grown-up’ talent development tool for going after the big challenges involved in augmenting a key contributor’s emotional intelligence, as it impacts on her/his performance in an organizational setting.”
