LEAP® graduates show a measurable increase (from 15-70%) in skill and confidence

LEAP® has been transforming mid-level, mid-career managers into confident, competent leaders since 2002. Our first graduates (from 2003) still report that they continue to have a positive impact on productivity, motivation, and business results.
It takes 30 days to make something a habit BUT it takes a year to make it a lifestyle. The LEAP year will not only transform managers into leaders but the results pay dividends for years.

MORE THAN 250 LEADERS GRADUATED SINCE 2003 WITH INCREASED CONFIDENCE AND COMPETENCE AND... RESULTS!

Picture
We are proud to have graduated more than 250 leaders from our program since 2003.  Our unique "Leadership Impact Measurement" shows growth throughout the LEAP year in 'confidence and competence' which ultimately translates to organizational performance.  Our measures show consistently high growth (in excess of 25%) in the following areas:
- Confidence that I could easily lead any group even if I have no expertise in that technical arena
- Greater skill in managing my emotional impulses (emotional intelligence)
- People would describe me as a courageous leader
- I can effectively lead my team through change
- I am comfortable using different leadership styles in different situations

FIVE LEADERSHIP LESSONS REPORTED TO HAVE THE MOST IMPACT


In 2010 we conducted a survey of our LEAP graduates. We decided it was time to find out what 'stuck' from their LEAP® year. When asked what they found to be the most lasting or impactful 'leadership lesson' was for them the top five included: 
  • Managing-up; learning how to better manage 'up' and meet or negotiate expectations with my boss.
  • Learning how to flex my leadership style based on situations.
  • Negotiating win/win for successful outcomes - Stop selling and start listening.
  • Leadership happens every day. Being a leader has more to do with my behavior than a title. I think in 'leadership terms' before reacting to a situation.
  • Time management and Delegation are tools I am still using today.
