LWCA's Culture of Leadership Blog
Hi, I'm Lee Eisenstaedt, the founder of the Leading With Courage® Academy.
You're probably visiting our website because you're the leader of an employee (ESOP)- or family-owned company who wants to:
-
Unleash the power of having your employees thinking and acting like owners;
-
Increase the odds that your soon-to-be-formed or relatively new ESOP realizes its full potential (e.g., preserving your culture or legacy, or rewarding your employees);
-
Strengthen trust, communication, collaboration, and relationships at all levels of your organization; and/or
-
Attract and retain more "A" team employees and customers.
We are advisors to the leaders of employee- and family-owned organizations who need simple, practical and straightforward counsel for building organizational capacity, healthy and sustainable businesses on a foundation of Cultures of Ownership, Leadership and Character-based Capitalism.

95% of people claim to be self-aware. The real number is 12%-15%.
Tasha Eurich, author
We believe that many of the leadership, employee engagement and other organizational health issues facing us today
are due to a deficit of self-awareness.
Don't accept your dog's admiration as
conclusive evidence that you are wonderful.
Ann Landers

I'm Lee Eisenstaedt.
I founded the Leading With Courage® Academy (LWCA) based on my dedication to helping the leaders of and advisors to employee- and family-owned organizations be more effective builders and stewards of healthy sustainable, thriving businesses that strive to do what's right for all of their stakeholders.
Our advisory services are focused on leadership development, self-awareness and succession planning. Our assessments, workshops, and processes are data-based, guided by real- world experience, and proven in the market which, I believe are why our clients tell us that more than 75% of what they've learned from us can be used right away.
I also find our clients like partnering with someone who has a passion for the basics, simplifies the complex, is not afraid of asking "dumb" questions, and has the courage to speak truth to power.
The foundation of LWCA is my deep and diverse experience as: a senior finance and operations executive with SC Johnson, including four years in its family office and five years in Paris, France, the Chief Operating Officer of two large CPA firms, the author of four books and numerous articles on leadership, and an Official Member of the Forbes Coaches Council.
