Poster 30 - LEAP Into Leadership: Growing Talent From Within

Monday, April 27, 2026
1:15 PM - 1:45 PM MDT
Location: Screen 24, Exhibit Hall Poster Pavilion
Workforce challenges demand bold leadership development. LEAP is a hands-on, competency-based leadership program designed to grow internal talent into confident, effective leaders. This poster highlights how LEAP strengthened leadership readiness, improved engagement, and supported retention by investing in employees already committed to the organization. Attendees will explore program design elements, measurable outcomes, and practical tools—including templates and implementation strategies—that can be adapted to their own organizations to move leaders from potential to performance.

Learning Objectives:

  • Discuss strategies for securing organizational buy-in and sustaining engagement in a year-long leadership development program.
  • Explore interactive, competency-based training methods and tools from the LEAP model that can be adapted to enhance leadership pipelines in attendees’ own organizations.
  • Examine outcome data and lessons learned from LEAP to identify practical approaches for strengthening leadership development initiatives.
