Leadership Odyssee (LEEP)^TM Leadership has been and continues to be the cause and effect of greatness and success as well as insignificance and failure. Since recorded history, ideas of leadership have been found in every culture around the world. They are embedded in the history, mythology, legends, sagas, religions of past civilizations which inform contemporary society and culture. The cornerstone of all LEEP programs is a model of leadership that transcends the prevailing two-dimensional approaches such as autocratic versus democratic leadership, task versus people-oriented leadership or transactional versus transformational leadership and goes to the heart of fundamental human values. LEEP builds on leaders’ cognitive and emotional abilities, the desire to exercise ethical leadership driven by a high moral compass and accounts for leadership failures we encounte rin individuals and organizations. The LEEP model identifies leadership processes and leaders, past and present, exemplifying cognitive, emotional and ethical competencies and develops these competencies in participants in unique historical, cultural, political and economic contexts. This unique program is designed to develop leadership insights via on-site study of historical and contemporary civilizations and their leaders. It is one of a kind approach to leadership development, offered only a few times a year, which challenges participants to explore leadership issues faced by ancient heroes and heroines and apply them to contemporary issues with which today's leaders are faced. The focus of LEEP journeys is not to learn about leadership from books, theories or gurus, but from reflection, contemplation, meditation and interactions and feedback from fellow travelers. LEEP experiences are designed to enhance the intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual capital of leaders participating in the program. Locations for the LEEP programs vary ranging from the northern rain forests of Guatemala to the Greek	LEEP Goes To Prague! November 8 - 10, 2009 * Saturday Evening Registration & Fellowship! *
	Award winning author, Dr. Karin Klenke, presents leadership in all of its glory, successes and failure in a model she instituted as LEEP. This model consists of the following facets (I) logos; (2) eros; (3) ethos; and (4) pathos. The basic premise underlying the LEEP model is that the construction of leadership is dependent upon the elements of logos, eros, ethos, and pathos, while at the same time acknowledging that these dimensions are influenced by the social context.
	Each of the four modules is highly interactive, built on life stories and leadership experiences of participants with each of the four components, and encourages the active construction of leadership by participants and the development of individual and organizational LEEP models. Which of the four facets are dominant in your leadership? How does your organization demonstrate the use of these facets? Can you map these components on your organizational chart? Are they manifest in your companies’ mission, vision, and value statements? Can they be detected in the behaviors of your employees and stakeholders? This seminar will include case analyses, self-assessments, role playing exercises and other interactive activities.
