In the dynamic business environment of today, the expectations set for leaders are greater than ever. Automation, digital transformation, and decentralization have left leaders feeling confused and uncertain. These issues are eroding the connections between employees and companies, making it essential for companies to identify purpose-oriented strategies and develop values-driven leadership to navigate these headwinds.

Their purpose-driven strategy and values-based leadership development helps leaders create transformational relationships with their clients, which sets them apart from others in their industries.
With hybrid work models on the rise, leaders are facing new issues when it comes to authentically connecting with employees and engaging them. Finding the balance between the needs of the company and those of employees is crucial to inspiring people back to work. The company's needs may be linear but each and every employee may have different needs that inspire them. Some get their sense of belonging from their organization, while others get it from their homes. For some autonomy is critical, while for others being part of a team is more important.
Lapin International's "autonomy and belonging spectrum," demonstrates that employees are somewhere in between total autonomy and total belonging, based on what they want and need. A person with a high sense of autonomy would like to be able to make any and all decisions with little restriction. While someone who needs a sense of belonging would want to be a part of a system that makes the decisions for them. To determine where employees are on this spectrum, it is important to understand their values and how the company can satisfy these values without compromising the needs of the organization. This will result in a new employee value proposition which will better connect them to the organization and inspire them to contribute more.
The firm’s latest pioneering tool is the Digital Leadership Fingerprint. This revolutionary system identifies an individual's unique values and leadership identity, setting the stage for a transformative journey. Leaders can systemize their values, creating a roadmap that guides their decisions and behaviors.

Performance review conversations are a particular area of difficulty for many organizations, and are addressed with finesse by Lapin International.
