A biotech leader argues most leadership training is outdated and introduces LEAP, a peer-group program designed to build systemic thinking and discernment. It's been used at P&G, Colgate, and DuPont to develop what the speaker calls regenerative leaders who can navigate complexity.
The higher you go, the harder it is to find an authentic connection. As a senior leader in biotech or healthcare, you're carrying the weight of your team, your organization and your strategic direction. But who's supporting you? How are you filling your cup to innovate and create? How do you nourish and evolve yourself so that you can develop your system? As someone who has spent 27 years inside global organizations in leadership and organization development, talent management, succession planning, I can say firsthand that leadership isn't about being an expert problem solver, a reactive whack, a mole specialist. What's needed today are regenerative leaders who can develop a culture that's fit for a future that's already here. But the higher we go, the bigger egos, fewer learners, the more stress, yet more potential. So this isn't another generic one size fits all, spray and pray, off the shelf training based on outdated traditional methods. And it's not about outsourcing your development to the expert guru or a set of best practices. Because LEAP is about self development, growing yourself on behalf of developing your beloved people, places and causes. And this calls for knowing how to design systemic Socratic methods and workshops to work on real concrete issues and think at higher orders of complexity. In Leap, it's built on the Harvard Change Pentad. It's the result of 13 year study of multidisciplinary schools, business, psychology and education departments. But it isn't theory, it's a proven framework with six 60 years track record transforming organizations and products like P and G, Colgate and dupont. And with Leap you will be working and learning with a curated peer group to learn this method for sure. Imagine a better team, a better organization, a better you. And with LEAP you'll gain the insights, the deep discernment, systemic thinking frameworks and peer support to lead with clarity, build value, adding teams and up level systemic capabilities. But you leave with more than just strategies. You leave with confidence and competence to navigate complexity. LEAP is based on a proprietary method and a technology that I learned from Carol Sanford Institute. And here's what Jeffrey Hollinger had to say. The founding CEO of seventh Generation, now acquired by Unilever. It contributed to exponentially to increasing the value of my company and helped us discover that work can be deeply fulfilling in ways that feed our soul. Even ex McKinsey Tom Peters talked about her approach. So if you're seeking far more than generic expert led training and you want to build deep discernment so that you can see around corners and see things that others miss, like this rhino here. Leap might be your next step. You ready to explore it a little bit more to see if we can learn and unlearn together?
