The LEAP Model: A Decision-Grade Framework for Leadership, Business, and Life

In this episode Maureen (Mo) introduces the LEAP Model — a decision-grade framework that helps leaders act with clarity under pressure. Drawing from her own leadership transitions, she explains why leadership is a decision problem, not just an ideas problem. Mo breaks down the four anchors—Lead (own the decision), Empower (assign execution), Align (create clarity), and Persevere (protect purpose)—and shows how to apply LEAP across daily, monthly, annual, and decade horizons, with ties to evidence from industrial and organizational psychology. Listen for a practical challenge to identify one area of hesitation, run it through LEAP, set a decision deadline, and move forward with clearer, more impactful leadership.
