LEAP has its foundation in the timeless Leadership Traits and Leadership Principles of Marine Corps leaders. These traits and principles have been validated throughout the 242 year history of the Marine Corps and are being re-validated today by Marines throughout the world.
The value of these timeless principles lies in their simplicity and their application across a wide spectrum of personal and professional leadership situations. They are as valid for a business leader as they are for a parent. They apply to customers, clients, students, team members, family members and our leaders. When these principles become habits, the result is extraordinarily effective leadership that is easily applied in challenging situations.
Some leaders have a natural ability to lead others. Others are content to lead themselves. Regardless of your situation, leadership is the single most cost-effective way to improve the performance of your organization.
Our programs all include pre-course work and post course follow-up. The LEAP curriculum consists of the following modules that are interchangeable and easily tailored to your specific needs.
