Leadership Development Program (LDP)®

Since its inception over 30 years ago, the Leadership Development Program (LDP)® has provided meaningful insights and developmental guidance to senior leaders. In January 2007, The Niagara Institute will introduce the latest and most comprehensive version of LDP.

LDP has always provided leaders with the opportunity to learn, engage, reflect and practise new behaviours. The latest edition is consistent with this proven high-impact format. Overall, it offers an even stronger developmental focus and provides both you and your organization with an enhanced return on investment.

Most leaders judge themselves based on their intentions. Others, however, judge leaders based on their impact. LDP bridges the gap from intention to impact. The program is based on the Intent-Behaviour- Impact model and helps you answer the question, “Who do I want to be as a leader?”

The most effective leaders are those who are highly self-aware and who understand the impact of their behaviours on others. True to this, LDP is rich in personal feedback, gleaned from assessment tools, program facilitators, your executive coach and other participants. This fundamental understanding of self will establish the basis for substantive and ongoing development of your leadership skills.

Across the five-day program, you will gain a sound awareness and understanding of current leadership competencies, including the following:

  • leveraging differences

  • understanding ethics and culture

  • valuing diversity

  • being adaptable

  • leading change

  • fostering global awareness.

Each day of learning is carefully constructed and integrated into the next program day to deliver an unparalleled learning experience. The program is highly intentional and the integrated modular design helps you think about yourself in a developmental way and plan your leadership development.

Throughout the program, you also gain insights and understanding through a variety of team-based simulations—simulations that challenge your current thinking and encourage you to apply your leadership competencies.

If you, like other top leaders, share the perspective that learning is a process and not an event, the LDP is your unique and unmatched opportunity for personal insight, reflection and development.
