Leadership Management, Inc.

What Leadership Management, Inc. does

Leadership Management, Inc. (operating as LMI / Leadership Management International) is a privately held, US-based leadership development company that designs, brands, and licenses a proprietary curriculum of personal and organizational development programs. Its core methodology, The Total Leader®, is structured around four pillars — Personal Productivity, Personal Leadership, Motivational Leadership, and Strategic Leadership — and is supported by The Total Person® holistic development program and three proprietary assessment/time-management instruments: the Profile Evaluation System® (PES), The Achiever, and My-Tyme®.

The company does not deliver programs through its own large direct sales force; instead, it operates an asset-light franchise and licensing model, granting independent licensed representatives the right to deliver LMI programs within their respective territories. LMI reports a footprint of representatives serving clients in 80+ countries. The technology layer is a third-party learning management system (myabsorb.com, an Absorb-branded LMS) that enables global, multi-device access to LMI's content catalog alongside the human-delivered coaching model, providing a self-serve channel for SMB and individual learners in addition to the licensee-led enterprise channel. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Revenue mechanics are threefold: (1) licensing and royalty fees from independent representatives operating under the LMI brand, (2) professional services revenue from personalized one-on-one development programs delivered by those licensees, and (3) subscription-style online learning access via the LMS platform. The central corporate organization is small (17 employees), consistent with a content-and-licensing parent rather than a delivery-heavy services firm. GDPR compliance is maintained for European operations. No venture funding, institutional investors, M&A activity, or public listing are disclosed; ownership and incorporation jurisdiction beyond "United States" are not specified.
