The Lazar Love or Lust Assessment: A Valuable Tool to Help You Decide What's Next

Dr. Lazar developed the New American Leadership System™ (NALS) as a character-based, complete, systematically planned program of training and development for leaders and their teams in large and medium sized enterprises. The New American Leadership System™ was refined and implemented in over thirty years of solid successes within organizations across the United States. It has now been translated into an online, on-demand, remote learning system for an entire enterprise. NALS™ has helped produce billions of dollars in revenue and saved billions in wasteful expenses and conflicts. As an entrepreneur of three small, profitable businesses he practiced what he preached and taught.

Long in retirement he has written columns and continues to blog at www.LazarAchievementPsychology.com.

During his career Dr. Lazar was the well-known developer and a leader in Team Excellence™. He was nationally known as an executive coach and he certified a younger generation of coaches in his methods. One emphasis was on exited military members who sought to start businesses and create jobs. The New American Leadership System™ has been used inside IBM, Aspen Tech, Tandem Computers, Genentech, American Express, Satellite Business Systems, Credit Suisse Bank, and Burlington Northern Railroad among others. He worked with managers and their start-ups to get their products produced and their research and development executed properly. He had an impressive string of successes with a wide range of industries that included financial people, high technology teams, sales persons, branch office managers and senior executives. His most famous successes were within the Federal Government and with State and County governments. One such success became the subject of a Harvard Business Review study. His unique system has been deployed in governmental agencies, non-profits, hospitals, education and religious organizations.

In 1970, he recognized that there was a need to find ways to develop collaboration within organizations and competition outside of them. He found that many organizations compete internally in ways that harm the team and the individuals. He returned to NYU to work with Peter Drucker to complete his PhD, and built a management model around the team concept of winning sports teams. The New American Leadership System™ technology evolved and has since worked successfully for more than 45,000 leaders and managers worldwide. In 1971, his concepts found in the New American Leadership System™ were readily absorbed by Japanese technology and manufacturing managers. He became sadly aware of how much harder it has been for some leaders in the United States to advance these morally predicated concepts within their own organizations. In 1990 he was invited to Russia to help teach his communication and conflict resolution techniques to help facilitate the new emerging Russian society and economy.

Influenced by Carôn, they transformed their life work to focusing on the qualities and attributes of character needed to develop future managers and leaders, sustain and improve present managers and leaders, and to direct the country back to its character-based roots. He was Adjunct Professor of Management and Organizational Behavior in Long Island University’s MBA program. Dr. Lazar holds a BBA in Industrial Psychology from City University of New York, an MA in Psychology from Syracuse University, and a PhD in Human Development from New York University.
