Why Clients Choose Us
Why us
With a discerning eye for leadership talent, we provide a bridge to elevate leadership and organizational effectiveness.
Described by our clients as “high touch, high impact,” we help clients create value and legacies by connecting with leaders who are uniquely positioned to the context of the organization, situation, mission and leadership position.
With each search, we have the opportunity to elevate leadership – helping our clients to advance to their future state.
Why now
Ordinary is no longer an option. Not for our clients, and not for LTA. There has been no greater urgency for challenging the status quo than in our current environment.
While some lean on experience to validate the status quo, we reference our experience to challenge the status quo – charting a better way forward.
In today’s dynamic business environment vision, innovation and adaptability are crucial, because extraordinary can only happen by moving away from the ordinary.
Clients bring us in when…
The business situation has changed, giving rise to imminent leadership change imperatives – and there is no time to get it wrong.
Organizational transformation is underway, and the composition of the leadership team needs adjusting.
A key executive is transitioning out of the organization, and a search must be conducted confidentially to avoid disruption in the organization and in the market.
Relying on ‘past performance’ in leadership selection proves to be less effective in an environment where everything is changing – calling for a new selection approach that is forward-looking.
Here’s what our clients have to say
“Lisa has found great executive talent for us, but what has set her apart is her commitment to and specific tools for mapping organizational context and leadership capabilities ensuring a great fit. She takes the time to get to know about our executive team, how it works, and makes the delivery of a graphic representation of how new leaders will mesh with our team a key part of the process which has been extremely insightful and helpful. Lisa uses our selection criteria, along with assessment, and her Context Mapping Guide to create a true partnership in the executive search and consultant experiences.”
“Working with Lisa from start to finish of the search process which resulted in my President, US appointment for Aluma Systems, a BrandSafway company; I was struck by Lisa’s overall professionalism and high touch approach. From her first point of contact presenting the opportunity to the final negotiation stage, Lisa genuinely focused on ensuring my investment in the process and the opportunity represented value for both me and her client. As a finalist candidate, Lisa took me through a comprehensive and interactive leadership assessment exercise which was very strong. Having been through other assessment processes, I can say Lisa’s process stood out and was extremely insightful and valuable from a forward-looking leadership perspective. I enjoyed the transparency and interactive nature of the process through discussing the results which set it apart from others I’ve been through. At the end of the search process, I was struck by Lisa’s attention to detail and her ability to strike the balance between addressing my issues and managing my expectations, while ensuring she was serving and representing her client well. My experience working with Lisa was very positive from a candidate perspective and I look forward to the opportunity to work with her from a client perspective in the future.”
“Lisa is an excellent executive search professional. Her client-focused approach to executive search makes her an outstanding and trusted advisor on executive selection. She has a laser-sharp focus on driving for results while providing superior quality service to both client and candidate. Lisa goes the extra mile in understanding her clients’ requirements, which helps facilitate placing the right candidate in the right job in her client organizations.”
