RECOGNIZE THE SPARK

You See the Potential.

We Help Them Build On It.

Not every organization has an internal leadership development program. And even when they do, some of the most valuable growth happens outside the workplace.

LEAD Local gives emerging leaders the chance to step beyond their day-to-day responsibilities, learn alongside professionals from different industries and organizations, and better understand how leadership works across business, civic, and community settings. They return to your organization with a broader perspective, stronger relationships, and greater confidence in their ability to contribute.

Who Should You Consider?

Your LEAD Local candidate does not need to be a manager.

 

Look for someone who: 

✓ Takes initiative and follows through

✓ Shows curiosity beyond their own role

✓ Communicates well with coworkers, customers, or partners

✓ Is beginning to take on more responsibility

✓ Has ideas and is willing to share them

✓ Works well with different personalities and perspectives

✓ Has expressed an interest in professional growth

✓ Could represent your organization well in the community

 

Sometimes the clearest sign is simple: you can see more in them than their current job description does.

Not Sure Who to Send?

Think about the person on your team who is already becoming a leader. Maybe they are excellent at their current job and beginning to stretch beyond it. Maybe they have become an informal leader among coworkers. Maybe they simply need someone to say, "I think you're ready for this."

LEAD Local can be that next step.
