Leadership matters.

At GLS, we believe leadership is the most critical factor in determining your organization's success. Accepting a management position is the first step in leading others. Becoming a leader is much more difficult. It involves setting the right goals, communicating a vision and ideas, and delivering results.

Companies that thrive and prosper do so because of strong leaders. But leadership effectiveness cannot happen overnight; individuals must continually challenge themselves to "reimagine" their leadership mindset and construct. Leadership is a continuous process of learning, development and feedback.

"Leadership is the ability to inspire people to take ownership and influence them to perform their best in achieving a shared vision." - Mike Abrashoff

Proven Results - USS Benfold

Based on the compelling story of USS Benfold, the focus of GLS leadership development programs are on learning "how" to apply the lessons and best practices modeled in Captain Abrashoff's book It's Your Ship. The success story of USS Benfold creates a powerful example of what is possible and the impact leaders can have on results. At the center of Benfold's success was a model that Captain Abrashoff used to turn around one of the worst ships in the Pacific Fleet into the best ship in just 12 months.

Mastering the art and science of leadership is a life-long journey. GLS provides the experiences for refining the leadership skills your leaders have already acquired, and helps them develops those essential skills for the greater responsibilities ahead.
