Leadership Cohort for New People Managers & Leaders
As UMBC continues to grow as a leader in the higher education space, it is critical that we retain our best people. Effective leadership is key to this imperative. The Human Resources and Strategic Talent Management department is excited to announce the launch of our LEAP Leadership Development Academy this August 2024! 

UMBC's LEAP Academy is a 5-month leadership development experience designed to provide the critical professional competencies and people skills that new people managers need to be effective at leading others and teams. This program is also appropriate for existing supervisors who need a tune-up on today's critical foundational managerial competencies to better support their team. 

This cohort-style program (3 separate 20-person cohorts) will be delivered in a hybrid format with live in-person instructional sessions and virtual team coaching sessions. Participants will also receive an All-Access Pass to FranklinCovey's Impact Portal where they will have access to additional resources. 

See below for high level details and the attached for a full program overview:   

Program Components:
  • September 6, October 25, December 6 - Three 1-hour Virtual Cohort Team Coaching Sessions 
  • December 18, 2024 - Formal Program Closing Ceremony for participants and supervisors
  • Customized self-paced integration/application activities via FranklinCovey's Impact Portal + access to full suite of FranklinCovey courses, resources, etc.
    • Portal resources to include: on-demand microlearning, application challenges, reinforcement activities, etc.
    • *Leadership Skills 360 Assessments for this course and others are housed and deployed inside the portal

Please review the full overview and choose the cohort that works best for your schedule. Note: there are three cohort options to choose from: Cohort I, II, and III. For the sake of continuity, each cohort is run separately as its own in-tact group; no switching between cohorts permitted.  Please choose the cohort that most fully works with your schedule.

Nomination Information & Deadline: The LEAP nomination process is both a self-selected process and supervisor/leader nominated program. Interested individuals must obtain their supervisor's support to attend the program and full session participation is required. Leaders interested in nominating individuals in their units should have a conversation with their employee/s to ensure their interest and commitment prior to application. 

We invite you to explore the program, gain your supervisor's support, and submit your application by the application deadline of June 14, 2024 (click link to apply).
