Program Information – L.E.A.P. Program™

Executive leadership students in a meeting

UT Dallas’ Executive Leadership Program: “Leader” is not a position, it is an attitude!

The L.E.A.P. Program™ (Leadership Effectiveness Accelerated Process™) is designed for experienced managers and executives who want to hone their leadership skills. This program provides the proven leadership tools, techniques, strategies and methods to transform you into a highly effective leader. The workshop environment enables interactive learning so learning happens by doing. Interacting with a peer group of leader-participants builds confidence and provides challenge and reinforcement.

The program starts with an in-depth assessment of individual core strengths. It then helps you design a custom plan for your personal development. Certified leadership coaches provide you guidance, encouragement and accountability throughout the process.

Five half-day sessions at two-month intervals include interactive, high- energy training and teaching. In addition, participants are responsible for assigned reading, case studies, videos, worksheets and other assignments between sessions in order to practice and apply what has just been learned and begin exploring the next topics.

The L.E.A.P. Program’s primary assessment and development tool is the highly respected Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI). Important elements of the acclaimed Leadership Challenge workshop are integrated into the L.E.A.P. Program.
