What is Leadership Development Program?

A structured program preparing high-potential employees for senior leadership roles through a combination of training, mentoring, stretch assignments, and executive exposure.

Why it matters in hiring

Leadership Development Program comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
