*********************************
Georgia Tech’s Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) Program is now accepting applications for the Institute’s undergraduate leadership development program—Leading Edge. Undergraduates who participate in Leading Edge will have the opportunity to work one-on-one with a trained leadership coach to explore their leadership potential and develop leadership skills.
Alexei Nikonovich-Kahn, a fourth-year business administration major in the Denning Technology and Management Program and a returning Leading Edge participant reflected on his experience in one-on-one leadership coaching, stating, “Unlike other programs that teach a philosophy, Leading Edge focuses on reflection and strength building of the individual. Leading Edge is not a simulation, a workshop, or a class. It is a series of coached individuals improving their self awareness and fostering their strengths.”
There are 95 spots available for undergraduates in the Spring 2015 session of Leading Edge. Students interested in applying should be honest, persistent, and dedicated to their own personal development and growth. All applications must be submitted by Monday, November 17, 2014 through the LEAD Program’s website – leadership.gatech.edu.
