Organizational Performance
To produce sustained breakthroughs in performance one must work at the level of context and learn to harness the power of your organizational culture.
Executive leaders partner with the Lustig Group to design and create cultures that support and call forth breakthrough performance.
The hottest new consulting approach or the latest technique presented in the recent NY Times best-seller – rarely make the difference. Sustainable change requires a shift in context and mindset, rather than more knowledge and additional training.
The context or paradigm in which an organization operates – always determines what is and is not possible. We begin all our work at the level of context.
We work with you to shift your approach,
from: reacting and coping, gaining more knowledge and merely applying the methods that have worked in other places,
to: a generative approach based in language and communication, that allows you to design new futures and fuel breakthrough performance.
When working with a Lustig Group coach you can expect:
- New levels of communication and collaboration
- People generating new or out-of-the-box thinking
- Increased flexibility and faster execution
- Individual accountability that is meaningful and relevant to your company’s future
- Individuals at all levels growing and demonstrating bold, passionate leadership
- Aligned action that is in synch with your strategy
- Elevated individual and team productivity
Each of our engagements is custom designed, and most include an assessment phase, performance coaching and a focus on a delivering a breakthrough project or outcome.
Organizational Assessment & Design
Our coaches are trained to be able to see patterns and relationships in your organization that are limiting your performance. Shining a focused light on these blind spots gives you the opportunity to disrupt the status quo and bring new thinking and action to the areas of concern.
We use a combination of one-on-one interviews and online surveys with a cross-section of employees to unconceal the critical challenges, key issues and concerns. This data gives us insight into the prevailing mindset, attitudes and mood of your organization. It also lets us see places where there is the greatest opportunity for immediate transformation.
We provide an summary of our findings that includes insights and recommendations. Our promise is to leave you with a new frame of reference and a new approach from which to improve performance and impact your key areas of focus.
Performance Coaching
Our coaching is designed for executives, leaders, managers and teams who are looking to elevate their effectiveness.
Using our proprietary breakthrough methodology as a foundation we tailor each coaching engagement to match your current needs and commitments.
Our coaching is often used to:
- Adjust or hone leadership styles
- Expand leadership and management skills to get things done that were not just going to happen on their own.
- Strengthen certain work habits, especially your ability to prioritize, handle more and complete projects
- Move past current limitations. Overcome the difficult things in your work, particularly those things that seem as though they must be accepted as they currently are.
- Improve communication so that you are able to impact what happens more directly.
- Be more effective at engaging and inspiring others to take action
- Elevating performance and results in a particular area
Thank you so much for the cogent feedback on the leaders you have been shepherding. Your coaching work has saved us, I believe, millions in potential lost talent!

Breakthrough Projects
The Lustig Group works with teams to deliver targeted business results in projects or key initiatives where the stakes are high and your success is not necessarily predictable when you look at your past performance.
We work with you to design breakthrough outcomes that occur beyond the typical “stretch goal”, but that are not in the realm of a “pipe dream”.
Our approach includes an educational component and the tools and practices to take a project from start to breakthrough outcome.
A key part of the process is supporting you to develop the communication skills required to truly enroll others’ authentic participation in the project. This includes the ability to deal creatively with breakdowns, problems and setbacks.
With the knowledgeable and personalized guidance you provided, our Medical Center’s new leaders became a coalescent management team faster and more effectively than any of us imagined. You are business smart and people smart, savvy and empathic. Your enthusiasm and commitment to us was evident from the start of the engagement, and never waned. Thanks in significant part to your work with us, we are a large and very complex organization that went through a profound leadership change without missing a beat.
