There is also a Boeing version of LEADS, and it's highly recommended as well.  It now includes the 6 Leadership Attributes from the Boeing Leadership Model. And because the LEADS program was developed by Dr. Pete Kurzhals from Boeing, Boeing NMA employees are now able to access this tool for free. 
 

LEADS was built by over 30 dedicated volunteers from Boeing, the NMA and Dale Carnegie (DC) – hence the DC logo.  At the moment, Pete Kurzhals is working with Tom Otley, Senior Dale Carnegie VP, to investigate ways of offering LEADS-related Dale Carnegie courses at any Boeing site via the Learning Together Program.

Pete is exploring a Boeing-wide LEADS application with Julie Acosta, Norm Bartlett and Rick Stephens, but that’s a slow process and requires months of evaluation and committee review.

In the interim, Boeing LEADS is making good progress, with over 500 users from 42 Boeing sites in its first 8 months of operation. User feedback has been very positive, with over 88% of respondents saying that LEADS can help them in their job and allows them to better understand and work with the Boeing leadership attributes.
