Lighting the Way: Leadership Development for Employee Growth

Description

What if leadership development could move from being an event to becoming a culture? 

In Lighting the Way, Scott De Long, Ph.D., pulls back the curtain on what it truly takes to grow people—and why that growth is central to building better teams, stronger companies, and more resilient cultures. This isn’t theory. It’s a practical framework that demystifies development and shows how to make it stick. 

This eBook offers a comprehensive overview of modern leadership development methods—keynotes, coaching, workshops, courses, retreats, and even self-paced options. Each method is broken down by purpose, format, impact, and limitations. You’ll discover how to match your team’s challenges with the right development strategy, and how to use these methods not as isolated events, but as steps in a larger journey of growth. 

Along the way, you’ll explore why soft skills like trust, empathy, and communication matter more than ever, especially in hybrid and remote environments. You’ll learn how to apply the LEAD Framework in practical ways, how to avoid the forgetting curve through follow-up and reinforcement, and how to build momentum that transforms individuals, teams, and culture itself. 

Whether you’re a CEO, a people leader, or an HR executive looking to bring intentionality to your development efforts, Lighting the Way provides the clarity and direction you need. This is more than a guide—it’s a call to lead through development and leave a lasting legacy.
