Transforming mere managers into High-Performance Leaders!

Leadership Development

Getting work done through the efforts of other people presents a variety of challenges. We leaders are often unaware of the effects we have on those we lead. The unintended consequences of our misinformed actions often lead to undesirable results. What are we to do under these challenging circumstances?

There is no leadership style or set of leadership skills that are effective in all circumstances. It takes different skills to lead a military organization than a non-profit; a team of twenty-somethings than a team of forty-somethings; a manufacturing company than a senior care facility. Each leader brings to their position a unique set of strengths and limitations.

There are however, some overarching principles that great leaders live by that give them an advantage in getting great work done through others.

Lighthouse provides research-based answers to the question, "How can I be a more effective leader?"

Emotional Intelligence & Competence

Mastery does not happen by accident. It is a process that occurs as we interact effectively with the events and circumstances of our lives. Each moment of our lives provides an opportunity to practice mastery by expanding our visions, awakening the faculties of our minds and our hearts, and assuming full responsibility for living, growing, and contributing.

About Lighthouse Leadership

Founded in 2012 by Doug Lundrigan, Lighthouse Leadership is based in Nampa Idaho. Lighthouse has contracts in Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and Missouri, and is willing to do work anywhere. It has become a acclaimed deliverer of performance improvement training, coaching, and consulting. Doug and his colleagues are highly experienced and perform excellent work. They come from a variety of backgrounds, but what they share in common is a passion for making a positive difference in the lives and careers of individuals, assisting the leaders of organizations to transform their culture and accelerate the talent development of their people. How would your organization benefit from that?

Lighthouse found its first clients in the health care and government sectors. Noteworthy clients, past and present are Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU), Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC), Marylhurst University, US Army Corps of Engineers, Port of Portland, City of Beaverton, and others.

Lighthouse’s greatest successes are with the US Army Corps of Engineers in Seattle and St. Louis. Lighthouse obtained contracts to develop and present the curriculum of their Leadership Development Programs (LDP). These contracts consist of (each year) 132 hours of classroom instruction, two retreats, six online assessments, 36 hours of coaching, a field trip, and other elements. Doug Lundrigan is the lead instructor for the program, and many of his colleagues serve as sub-contracted instructors. Many of the testimonials provided on this website are quotes from program participants. Doug is very proud of his work with this government agency. In addition to the many positive comments, the program had the outcome that 68% of the participants were promoted to a higher level of responsibility and compensation within one year of completion of the LDP. Doug was also awarded the Commander’s Coin for excellence in his work in LDP. Additional outcomes that Doug appreciates very much are the continuing friendships he still has with many alumni of LDP.

Doug has had success with the OHSU physician/department head who he coached through some challenging personnel issues, an attorney he assisted to see better ways to grow her practice, a government contracting agent he coached from continual conflict to peaceful productive interactions, and dozens of other leaders he coached to find “Aha!” moments to greater success.
