The intent of LEaP is to assist WPI students in becoming able, willing, and confident leaders. Although modern technology has changed the ways in which we communicate, excellent speaking and writing skills will always be critical for success. Knowledge is of uncertain value if it cannot be communicated. Everyone makes decisions each day, but that doesn't mean that the decisions we make are good ones.
Effective leaders understand decision-making processes.
More importantly, effective leaders understand that judgment is at the core of good decision-making. Team Building Effective leaders can move a team from the start through the process to the end of a project. They understand how groups work, know how to guide a team through decision processes, and are able to maximize the differing strengths of individual members to achieve superior team performance. Defining the problem precisely is not. Effective leaders understand the value of clearly defining a problem, creating and analyzing a list of possibilities, and choosing the best solution.
