In 1994, Dr. John Dentico conducted an extensive survey of leadership development programs and noted a huge gap in the development of future leaders.
There was little evidence that leadership development programs connected leadership with the real, complex, and ever changing issues and challenges organizations faced each day. In reality, leadership development had focused on the improvement of traits, behaviors and individual greatness. Application of leadership practices in the face of ever increasing complex challenges in the real world was nearly non existent.
It became obvious that the need for a bridging experience that helped people transition from a factory mindset to developing confidence in 21st century practices was sorely needed.
In 1994 Dr. Dentico began effort to close this gap. The result was a blending of 21st century leadership concepts, real world scenarios, 17 years of simulation expertise, and the five disciplines of a learning organization into the LeadSimm Leadership Development Simulation Method.
LeadSimm is a “one-of” systems approach to developing leadership practices and operates from a simple yet powerful notion, that leadership can be anything anyone says it is, until you have to go do something difficult and complex with it.
Today, LeadSimm LLC has grown into an internationally recognized leader in leadership development and learning. For the past 17 years, we have provided a wide array of research, evaluation, leadership and training services to a number of distinguished organizations with a substantial emphasis in the areas of safety, security, and first response.
