Since 1966 LMI has helped thousands of leaders and organizations worldwide make the changes required to be competitive in a challenging global economy. Just as LMI has helped countless others, it can help you think about yourself and your organization – and change your future. About LMI

LMI began as a vision in the mind of a self-motivated man known for his ability to transform ideas into goals and goals into phenomenal success. Meyer founded LMI more than 40 years ago to help individuals and organizations develop expertise in setting and reaching personal and business goals. Using a Total Person® concept, Meyer designed his materials to enable people to balance their lives in all areas – family and home, financial and career, mental and educational, physical and health, social and cultural, and spiritual and ethical. Eager to put into practice Meyer's unique approach to achieving well-rounded success, other business people soon joined Meyer's quest to assist clients to realize more of their managerial and executive potential. Founded in 1966, this Central Texas corporation has become an extensive, far-reaching organization with materials produced in 26 languages and marketed in more than 70 countries worldwide. The LMI process is supported and facilitated by a wide selection of materials reflecting the best thinking of successful leaders in business and human development. Individuals associated with LMI have a rich background of experience and success. LMI's powerful success process and outstanding leaders demonstrate LMI's belief in the potential of every man and woman to prepare to meet today's leadership and management challenges. Meyer founded Leadership Motivation, Inc. LMI was originally designed as a sales division for marketing management and leadership development programs. By 1970, Meyer's products were permanent fixtures in the personal and management development marketplace. LMI - now Leadership Management® International, Inc. - grew at a rapid pace. LMI CEO Randy Slechta and other company executives discerned the marketplace need for a comprehensive leadership development process, including a common sense approach to organizational planning and a new focus on effective, ethical leadership. LMI's process development specialists set about developing a complete solution to leadership development. The result is the unique LMI Total Leader Solution. The Process itself created a paradigm shift which moved LMI to the center of the organizational development and organizational planning marketplace. Today, LMI's aim is to develop effective leaders and organizations through the implementation of a unique process. As the LMI concept has spread worldwide, LMI processes and materials are now translated into more that 26 languages, and marketed in more than 70 countries around the globe.

"The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival." - Aristotle

Leader-directed, positive change is not about direction but transformation. The degree of organizational awareness is the single most determining factor in managing effective change. What is organizational awareness? Organizational awareness is a level of understanding for both the organization and its leaders regarding current capacity, abilities, potential, and results. Transformation cannot take place in a vacuum void of insight. The creation of organizational awareness is a continuous process stimulated by "effective" leaders at every level of the organization. A high degree of organizational awareness improves organizational analysis, hiring and staffing decisions, team building, communication, culture, and leadership style. Organizational awareness fosters insight that can transform "good" results into "great" achievement.
