Guide, Don't Drive™ wasn't built to be installed by one person.
It's built to be installed by a certified network. We are certifying our first cohort of Installation Partners now - practitioners who will deliver GDD installations under the same completion standard LLI holds itself to. Be among the first.
The 6-Step Performance Engine
You've built a system that works. You can't be everywhere it's needed.
Every organization LLI installs GDD in still needs a steward once LLI's engagement ends.
Coaches and consultants ask to deliver GDD under their own practice - there's no certified path for that yet.
A methodology that only one company can deliver doesn't scale as a network. It scales as a bottleneck.
Guide, Don't Drive™ was built as a doctrine, not a personality. It has to be installable by more than Steve.
Installation Partner Certification is how the network gets built - deliberately, under supervision, one certified cohort at a time.
The Certification Path
Three steps. One completion standard.
Certification is earned, not purchased. Every Installation Partner is evaluated against the same standard LLI holds itself to.
Step 1
Doctrine Mastery
The full Guide, Don't Drive™ doctrine library - identity discipline, tolerance discipline, recovery, and the behavioral engine underneath the system.
Step 2
Supervised Installation
You install GDD under LLI supervision before you install it independently. Delivery is evaluated, not assumed.
Step 3
Certified Status and Continuing Education
Certification is renewed annually through continuing education, keeping every Installation Partner current as the doctrine evolves.
2,000+ leaders. 200+ organizations. 15% average net income increase.
That's what LLI has installed directly. Certification exists to extend that same standard through a network of certified practitioners - starting with this founding cohort.
Built for practitioners ready to install a system, not sell a framework.
- Executive coaches and consultants who want a system, not just a framework, to install
- Leadership development firms looking to add a certified, proprietary methodology
- Internal L&D leaders who want to become their organization's certified steward
- Practitioners who already believe behavior - not awareness - is the unit of change
