LEAP LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
OBERLIN GROUP
“Through this experience, I’ve seen that I’m able to lead from my natural strengths. I’ve identified growth areas, and I realize that I don’t have to completely change who I am to be an effective leader.”
—Sara Pike, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth
LEADERSHIP COURSE SPRING 2024
B.Cognition Labs presents our Leadership Empowerment and Acceleration Program (LEAP), a 2-month, fully online program that provides a unique development opportunity for established mid-career leaders who wish to thrive better in complex and disruptive environments.
LEAP encourages participants to approach leadership as a set of contextual behaviors that empowers groups, instead of an expression of individual technical competence.
By completing this course, participants will have the opportunity to:
-
Experiment with important new leadership behaviors.
-
Apply insights and learnings within your work context.
-
Model key leadership approaches, including collaboration, negotiation, and conflict resolution.
Participants should expect to participate regularly online during each week of the program. You must be able to commit up to five hours per week every week. Each course week will include compelling leadership learning experiments, along with videos, podcasts, discussions, graded assignments with feedback, small group discussions, and full class meetings. Attendance at regular live online meetings is required throughout the course.
TESTIMONIALS
“What I have taken away most is that there are different paths to leadership and different ways to express leadership. I’ve appreciated the diversity of conversation about what a leader can be.”
—Tess Grynoch, University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School
“I’ve discovered that my struggles as a leader are more universal struggles than I had thought. It gives me some comfort that these things are shared and we’re all going to keep working to become better leaders.”
—Kathleen Berry, University of Massachusetts Amherst
“I’ve never thought of myself as a person with authority or power, someone that other people even wanted to follow. It has become clear to me throughout this experience that people are more comfortable with my authority when I’m comfortable with it.”
—Heather Castle, University of New Hampshire
