The Leadership Development Academyâs (LDA) cohorts of cross-department and cross-level leadership enhance global county insight, which is a fundamental value of this program. Every level of leadership from every department in the county has the amazing opportunity to learn from one anotherâs experiences in addition to learn timeless and future focused transformative principles. The desired outcome of the program is to produce leaders who are inspired to transform positively a county culture by increasing organization commitment, increasing employee engagement, increasing leadership skills, and increasing a pipeline of future successors.
