HI, I’M
JOSHUA WASHINGTON

I founded Lee Malveaux on one conviction: when you maximize the strategic value within your people, you maximize the value of your company.

THE FOUNDING CONVICTION

The name Lee Malveaux carries a legacy.

When my grandmother Margaret—a woman of extraordinary Faith, Wisdom, compassion, and leadership—passed away in 2016 after battling cancer, she left me with more than grief. She left me with a conviction: that when you truly invest in people, the results compound in ways that outlast any strategy or system.

Lee Malveaux is built on that conviction. People first—not as a platitude, but as an operating philosophy. When you identify the strategic value within your people and build the work around them, something remarkable happens: performance becomes predictable, culture becomes an asset, and growth stops feeling like a struggle.

WHERE THE METHODOLOGY WAS FORGED

My career reached a defining chapter working for one of the largest healthcare organizations in America — a complex, high-stakes environment where I coached and trained leaders of multi-million dollar enterprises alongside some of the most disciplined minds in medicine.

This is where I developed the diagnostic instincts that would become the foundation of the Mission-Critical Performance Method™. In an environment where misalignment between leadership behavior and organizational priority was not a theoretical problem but a patient-safety problem, I learned to see human performance at the organizational level with the precision the stakes demanded.

2020

THE CLARITY THAT CRISIS CREATES

The pandemic forced every organization to confront a question they had been deferring: what is actually essential?

It stripped away the structures that had been masking misalignment, surfaced the leaders who could navigate ambiguity, and clarified — in the most demanding way possible — that people strategy is not a nice-to-have. It is the foundation of organizational resilience.

During this period, I focused on helping small and mid-sized businesses navigate an increasingly competitive market with limited resources.

The lesson was consistent: the organizations that survived and grew were not the ones with the best technology or the deepest pockets. They were the ones with the clearest alignment between their mission, their people, and their execution.
