What We Offer

Organizational Development

Values Discovery & Analysis Workshops

Facilitated sessions to identify authentic organizational values truly reflected in the agency’s identity. Through structured dialogue and strategic storytelling, we align leadership around what those values mean in practice.

Values Gap Analysis Survey

A structured diagnostic survey using VTP’s proprietary tool to assess alignment between stated values and daily practice. Results identify high-risk cultural gaps and actionable priorities.

Barrier Identification & Removal Programs

Targeted efforts to remove real-world friction—whether structural, procedural, or behavioral—that prevents values from being consistently applied. Focused on enabling sustainable change from the inside out.

Custom Accountability Frameworks

Designing practical systems that translate values into performance. Includes values-based KPIs, peer and supervisor feedback loops, and recognition structures that reinforce what the organization truly stands for.

Leadership Development

Values Based Leadership Individual Assessment

Our assessment evaluates how closely a leader’s behaviors align with ten core leadership practices essential to building trust and shaping culture. Using an 80-question, weighted framework with optional integrity checks, it provides a clear, actionable snapshot of how leaders lead—not just the results they deliver. Ideal for coaching, development, and succession planning.

Values Based Leadership Training

We coach and train leaders at every level—from aspiring supervisors to executives—to model and reinforce values-based behavior, embedding culture into command presence, decision-making, promotions, and communication, both within their organization and in the communities they serve.

Strategic Planning

Culture-to-Strategy Audit

An evaluation of how the current culture either enables or undermines strategic success. We assess how everyday behaviors, norms, and informal systems impact your agency’s ability to achieve mission objectives. 

Strategic Planning With Cultural Alignment

Once cultural foundations are in place; we help agencies design or refine strategic plans that are grounded in their real values and cultural readiness. This includes setting priorities, defining objectives, and ensuring accountability systems reflect the values already being reinforced throughout the organization.

What Sets Us Apart

VTP Leadership Solutions is more than a consultancy—it is a mission-driven platform rooted in integrity, practical experience, and a relentless dedication to developing the next generation of public safety leaders. What truly sets us apart is more than deep operational experience—it’s our commitment to transformation.

Dr. Joseph J. Lestrange, Founder and CEO, earned his Ph.D. in Global Leadership and Organizational Management by developing a Values-Based Leadership (VBL) framework validated across 29 countries across the globe.

This proven framework now forms the core of our approach: helping organizations close the gap between their espoused values—the principles they state on the wall—and their actual practices—the behaviors they demonstrate daily both in their organizations and in the communities they serve.

Leading in the 21st Century

Public safety leaders today face unprecedented challenges:

  • Increased complexity
  • Greater interdependence
  • Heightened ambiguity
  • Constant flux
  • Non-linear change

As leadership scholar Michailova observed: “Leaders must be flexible, and adaptable enough to move between issues in multiple directions simultaneously.”

The 10 Universally Endorsed Values-Based Leadership Practices

Our VTP framework emphasizes ten core practices universally recognized as the foundation for ethical, effective, and resilient leadership:

  • Model behaviors that promote a positive organizational climate.
  • Strengthen alignment between people and purpose.
  • Promote genuine caring, empathy, and respect.
  • Build trust and legitimacy to galvanize relationships.
  • Cultivate a learning organization.
  • Demonstrate strong character.
  • Focus resources to achieve strategic vision.
  • Strive for organizational excellence.
  • Display humility and stewardship.
  • Promote transparency through effective communication.
