LEAP participants are chosen through a competitive nomination and selection process. The LEAP application packet is designed to assess qualifications, professional accomplishments, academic skills, and leadership abilities of candidates. The information provided will be used as the basis for invitation to participate in LEAP.
The goal and purpose of LEAP is to empower new supervisors and extremely high performing professional staff with a heightened self-awareness, advanced knowledge, and value-added leadership in a secure, but challenging environment. As a result of the program, participants increase the capacity to lead themselves, other individuals, and a university unit or organization.
Beginning Aug. 13, LEAP participants will meet every other Thursday, with the exception of the second meeting which will meet on a Friday, from 1-5 p.m. to learn from campus and community experts and cover a range of topics, including true leadership, professional branding, team facilitation, managing employee performance, change management, conflict resolution and ethical decision making, and leaving a legacy.
Please contact Easley at deasley@hrm.msstate.edu with any questions.
