The Leadership Operating System

Leaders shouldn’t have to be in the room for progress to happen. The Leadership Operating System (LOS) installs a proven framework inside your team so trust, alignment, communication, and accountability become part of how work gets done every day.

👉 Outcome: Your team advances your vision with consistency—even in your absence.

How it Works

The LOS is a 12-month journey that combines coaching, consulting, and tools. It’s not a one-off workshop—it’s a system that changes how your team leads and executes.

The Rhythm:

  • 4 onsites (quarterly anchors)

  • Ongoing practice, observation, and feedback between onsites

  • 1:1 coaching + leadership team sessions

  • Tools, templates, and playbooks to reinforce behaviors

The Tools & Outcomes:

Throughout the journey, your team receives:

  • Playbooks & templates (Plan-on-a-Page, OKRs, meeting rhythms, feedback guides)

  • Diagnostics & assessments (Org Health Quiz, Working Genius, 1:1 interviews, crowdsourcing sessions)

  • Reinforcement activities (coaching, observation, practice feedback)

What changes:

  • Teams stop waiting for direction

  • Priorities are clear and consistently reinforced

  • Meetings and 1:1s drive accountability instead of wasting time

  • Progress continues without the leader being the bottleneck

What’s included:

  • Org Health Quiz for Leaders

  • Org Health Quiz for Employees

  • Working Genius Assessment

  • Licensed Use of POPin, the Honest Conversation Platform

Deliverables:

  • LOS Toolkit Integration: Implementation of LOS tools into daily operations, including meeting structures, feedback systems, and performance management practices.

  • Facilitated Workshops: Four onsite sessions focused on the LOS pillars (Trust, Alignment, Communication, Accountability), designed to reinforce and practice key concepts.

  • Coaching Hours: Ongoing consulting/coaching hours for observing meetings, 1:1 sessions, and ad hoc team needs.

  • Org Health Assessment Refresh: Reevaluating team performance on LOS foundations

  • Digital Access: Access to the Consultant’s digital resources, including coaching videos and leadership courses.
