Two Frameworks. One Ecosystem.

How LEPA™ differs from the Leadership Development Framework

The Leadership Development Framework grows individual leaders. The Organizational Effectiveness Framework — anchored by LEPA™ — measures how leadership is shaping the health of the whole organization.

LEPA™ appears in both frameworks on purpose. In the Leadership Development Framework it measures the executive. In the Organizational Effectiveness Framework it measures how that executive's leadership is shaping the organization.

The lens of leadership impact

Five dimensions. One executive lens.

LEPA™ measures executive effectiveness across five critical dimensions, with Executive Presence™ at the center, amplifying every other dimension of leadership.
