Welcome to LLEAD.
LLEAD is the only leadership and management development program for employees in all roles within academic, public and enterprise libraries and information services. What began as a small Canadian pilot program quickly transitioned into an innovative, in-demand learning experience for people from all over the world. This one-of-a-kind six-month learning journey celebrates and optimizes the diversity of people learning and unlearning together. You, unique in your own way with your culture, race, experiences, perspectives, abilities and approaches, will gain confidence and capabilities in a close-knit cohort.
You may be in any country. You are looking at LLEAD because you want to gain the skills, tools, powerful insights and conceptual frameworks to successfully navigate the ever-changing library and information sphere.
