Build a culture that works for people and performance.

Most workplace issues aren’t about strategy. They’re about people. We help you build systems that support trust, accountability, and the kind of leadership people want to follow.

Most workplace challenges aren’t about strategy. They’re about people.

The Ladipo Group equips organization leaders with emotionally intelligent tools to lead well through tension, uncertainty, and growth.

When you have a healthy company culture, top talent stays instead of flees, quiet quitting decreases, and people stop dreading coming to work as engagement increases.

Whether you’re facing culture erosion, communication breakdowns, or leadership fatigue, The Ladipo Group brings structure to what feels messy and offers tools your team will actually use.

caught between executive mandates and team needs

You want your teams to get results, your culture to reflect your values, and your people to thrive. The Ladipo Group is designed to help you get there.

Our Approach

We work with people who want to do right by their people.

With life moving at a speed that often feels unsustainable, work can become a place where people are engaged and feel fulfilled, or a place that sucks the life out of them and others. That energy drain becomes a culture drain and ultimately a money drain.

The Ladipo Group listens and works with you to hear your most pressing concerns. Then, we walk you through our recommended solutions.

Our team has over 125 years of experience training people to implement emotional intelligence strategies to improve their professional relationships and increase their productivity.

At work, this looks like:

  • Teaching managers how to deliver unbiased, consistent, actionable feedback to staff
  • Training staff to communicate across generations and cultures
  • Practicing the skills needed to disagree respectfully and cultivate trust and psychological safety

Sharing information and increasing awareness is only the starting point of behavior change. Real change comes with action. We bring practical, actionable tools to all of our engagements.

All of our team members know what it’s like to be the employee who is overlooked for their contributions, to be a manager who feels the tension between company demands and the complexity of meeting the needs of their direct reports, and to be a leader who is in charge and blamed for everything with little praise or support.

We get you because we are you. And we know that there is a different way to work than how most of us have been taught. Let us show you how.
