LFI-LCMM
Concept Framework
LCMM is Designed to Help LFIs create better impact through their LDPs.
Successful Leadership Development Programs (LDP) are designed to achieve two results:
- Developing Individual Leaders through Competency Enhancement
- Creating Business Impact by Consciously Utilizing Leadership Competencies
Leadership Factories need to build Matured LDP Practices to ensure both.
Leadership Capability Maturity Model (LCMM) will help assess current Maturity Level and plan improvement initiatives.
