Research Foundation of The LEADERSHIP ARCHITECT® Suite
The integrating hub of the tools and processes comprising the Suite is the LEADERSHIP ARCHITECT® Competency Library.
The Lominger competencies and career stallers and stoppers are based on the competency work done across many years at CCL, Hay-McBer, Sears, Exxon, AT&T, and thousands of professional studies summarized in The Handbook of Leadership. The Lominger goal was to come up the fewest number of competencies that have been shown to relate to success at work.
These competencies have been tested empirically since 1994. Overall, 66 of the 67 competencies and 18 of the 19 career stallers have significant relationships with independent measures of performance or potential. There are studies relating proficiency at the competencies to bonus levels, stock options, profitability and exceeding sales targets for sales managers, and retention of key staff.
Recently, research was extended to predictive studies which show that proficiency in competencies predict both promotion and performance years later. The studies mentioned are available.
An internal company study found that after using Lominger competencies and developmental materials, turnover dropped from 30% to below 10%; acceptance of offers went from 40% to 70%, and employee satisfaction increased significantly.
