Lion Organizational Development Institute

Sending wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving to all! 🍁We are deeply grateful to our extended Lion Strategy Group family and friends - a group that includes incredibly courageous and dedicated first responders.

It is a privilege to work with engaged leaders who give their all to bring out the best in their people. Good leadership improves lives, communities and "has the potential to impact the world," as John C. Maxwell put it.

It all starts with giving thanks early and often to those around you. So thank YOU for your trust in us and your continued service to the public.

Today and every day, we offer sincere gratitude to the men and women who put their lives on the line to protect the safety and wellbeing of our communities.
THANK YOU for your service.

Protect your people before they are in harm's way.

We help public safety agencies identify micro changes in officers' behavior to prevent macro problems later on.

Our evidence-based Workforce Behavioral Intervention Platform proactively flags subtle signs of distress unique to each officer, opening opportunities for support, prevention and risk-mitigation.

As we reimagine law enforcement, we continue to place the welfare and protection of the public in the hands of our LEOs. We owe it to them, their families, and the communities they serve to make their mental wellness and psychological safety a top priority.

Be a Leader in the Movement to Reimagine Wellness and Safety for First Responders and Communities.

Co-Founder Mike Alexander was honored to train members of the Tony Korioth Supervisor Academy this week.

Leaders from the police, fire, public works and utilities attended with professionals from human resources, risk management and legal departments.

Thank you to the TMLIRP for providing cities, Municipal Utility Districts, and others with risk management, human resources and leadership tools to address complex issues they face every day.

Three things law enforcement leaders should be doing to prevent su***de among police officers. READ new post by Principal Partner Mike Alexander: https://bit.ly/LEOwellness

Tomorrow we will pay tribute to the thousands of Americans who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Law enforcement leaders will stand with their first responders to honor the bravery of the 403 men and women who sacrificed their lives to save others. These courageous souls ran toward the fiery chaos as first responders do every day, risking themselves to serve others.

We are committed to supporting first responders by providing cutting edge psychological safety, leadership engagement and mental and emotional wellness solutions.

This week, let's talk openly about su***de. What are things you wish others knew about it? What have you learned that surprised you? What advice can you offer others? Knowing that su***de is complicated and there is not always one specific cause, how can you help others understand the issue?
