The Emerging Leader Ascent
People learn best when supported by peers, guided productively, with relevant lessons spaced over time. Lead Belay believes every emerging leader should have access to this kind of development.
It begins and ends with the Belay Group
A Belay Group is made up of 5–6 high-achieving emerging leaders who have never met before.
Each person in a Belay Group comes from a different organization. This helps everyone feel more comfortable to share openly, making it easier to establish trust, take risks, and make meaningful strides in their growth as leaders.
Intentional matching using 30+ data points
Using science-backed methods, we match the members of each Belay Group intentionally using factors like experience, leadership style, and differing approaches to overcoming obstacles.
Leveraging more than 30 data points for every participant, Belay Groups are optimized to help ensure everyone feels empowered to support and challenge one another throughout the program.
The guideposts of the Emerging Leader Ascent
Psychological safety
Psychological safety means everyone on the team feels accepted, respected, and welcome to speak up without fear of negative consequences.
Communication
Communication is dialed in when information is shared clearly, which reduces inefficiency and frustration.
Alignment
Alignment means everyone on the team works toward the same goal, with each person feeling a sense of purpose and ownership for achieving the team’s shared vision of success.
