"The L3 workshop was an eye opening experience for me. It has changed what I think about myself, and how I think about others. I wish I had completed this program years ago!

"The Leadership Agenda program helped me to 'crystallize' what I have been thinking about for years. It will be a great way to help hold myself accountable as a leader and a person."
-Jo-Anne Poirier Ottawa Community Housing Corporation
"The experience reawakened my leadership skills. The Leadership Agenda has allowed me to realize who I want to be and who I am as a leader. The small group allows for great interaction with all participants."

"The experience with L3 has been very rewarding. I came away with over 70 tools to help me the next time the need arises. More importantly I was able to take a clear look at the leader I am and want to be in the future. I am now focused and will be intentional going forward. A side benefit was the opportunity to meet some great leaders. They each inspired me immensely!"

“The L3 experience has changed the way I run my company. From clearly understanding the roles of a leader, to creating significant leverage through my own personal leadership agenda, I have changed the way I lead forever.”

“Dr. Krishnamurthy's direct, fully engaged style elevates discussions to demanding yet rewarding learning experiences. He challenges participants to not simply criticize a present weakness but to advocate for viable improvements. Moreover, along with any position taken, one must distinguish a reasonable alternative position and explain why it should not be chosen. By dispensing with the easy-out answers, this approach clearly raised the value for participants by drawing out ideas and dialog that went way beyond textbook buzzwords.
Collegiality was fostered in the team projects and the fun settings, but Dr. Krishnamurthy's philosophy was not for L3 to be a comfortable vacation. Participants were challenged by the content [...] and challenged each other, in ways that maintained professional respect while transcending the kind of protocol and politeness that can otherwise stifle innovation.”
-Timothy Stewart GWU Business School, Doctoral Fellow
“L3 was a great opportunity to observe and absorb various leadership styles in an ideal learning environment. The intimate nature of the settings offered me a perspective of other leaders in the company that I otherwise would never have seen. More than anything else, I left L3 with a solidified belief in the value of effective leadership, and a new perspective on the styles and talents of my colleagues.
Balaji clearly has a style of delivery and engagement that is all his own. I have never experienced another executive as genuinely interested in learning, and teaching, as Dr. Krishnamurthy. I have also rarely felt as "intellectually stretched" as I do when in conversation with Balaji. He is as quick on his feet (and as broadly well-informed) as anyone I've met, yet he speaks and acts without a shred of arrogance or intimidation. I'd also add that Balaji has a unique ability to distance himself emotionally from even the most controversial topics - while still aggressively and completely diving into the issue at hand."

“Even with an MBA from a leading university, I found the [L3] program provocative. While it incorporated many of the components of traditional management education--financial analysis, operations, and marketing--its focus was consistently on the leadership dimensions for results that are the ultimate responsibility of developing leaders [...] Balaji drove this program with conviction, passion, and an engaging style that consistently resulted in a high-energy environment. It was a stimulating and fertile learning laboratory that helped shape [...] some of the most progressive managerial practices I have seen in my career.”
