Design and implement transformational leadership development programs that nurture high performers and prepare them to take on new roles within your organization. Take your leadership initiatives beyond individual training events and build the foundation for a holistic leadership development process that begins by laying the groundwork and partnering with senior executives.
The ATD LEADS model, an exclusive model based on industry-leading research and best practices, serves as the foundation for the course. Using the model as a guide, we will explore all the components necessary to build a successful program, from establishing organizational readiness and analyzing various assessment models to evaluating leadership competencies and behaviors and their relationship to your organization's workforce needs. Six case studies allow you to learn from other organizations that have implemented leadership development programs. This course addresses identifying candidates and designing developmental opportunities, including creating learning events. You will also learn how to sustain programs by demonstrating their impact on the bottom line.

This program is ideal for participants with backgrounds in learning design who have a business need to develop leaders and create effective leadership programs. The program focuses on understanding and applying best practices in developing a leadership development process, including designing learning experiences that nurture new leaders. This program is not a leadership course in and of itself.
"This certificate program is excellent for those who already have implemented some type of Leadership Development Program (LDP) or for those who are considering developing one. We learned strategies and best practices that can be used immediately back on the job."
"This program was excellent! In just two days I have a timeline for building our leadership development program, with all of the models, tools, and resources. What a great ROI! I will immediately put to use the Organizational Readiness Audit, which I can use to show the need for creating the leadership development program!"
"After successfully completing this program, and attending the International Conference & Exposition, I can confidently recommend ATD's programs to anyone in the training and development field."
