Event Overview​
B.Cognition Labs' Leadership Empowerment and Acceleration Program (LEAP) is a 3-month Program that provides a unique development opportunity for established mid-career leaders (generally already at the Director, Sr. Director, Associate University Librarian, Vice President, or Vice Provost level) who wish to thrive better in complex and disruptive environments.

LEAP encourages participants to approach leadership as a set of contextual behaviors that empower groups instead of an expression of individual technical competence.

Course topics:
 - Making difficult conversations meaningful and productive
 - Negotiating and collaborating with stakeholders
 - Discovering your strengths as a leader
 - Gaining insights from failure
 - Leading through change
 - Inspiring teams

LEAP combines active learning, cutting-edge leadership theory, regular experimentation and reflection, insightful assessment, personalized coaching, and world-class leadership content from elite business schools.

Learning Outcomes
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 from September 23 to January 8.  Each course week will include videos, discussions, graded assignments with feedback, small group discussions, and full-class meetings. Attendance in the weekly meetings is required.

Participants and faculty will meet face-to-face on September 24th and 25th, as well as January 7th and 9th, and participate in additional activities and networking opportunities. Attendees are expected to be present for all scheduled activities/sessions during the in-person portion of the workshop.
