To ensure mission success
into the future, NASA needs
a diverse cadre of leaders
who are adaptable, inspire,
motivate, and guide others
to produce tangible results,
who mentor and challenge the
workforce, and who demonstrate
high standards of honesty,
integrity, trust, openness,
and respect.
As
part of NASA’s integrated
Strategic Human Capital Plan,
the LDP is a key succession-planning
tool aimed at ensuring that
the Agency has the right kind
and number of diverse leaders
to achieve mission success.
Specifically,
the NASA Leadership Development
Program (LDP) is intended
to:
·
Prepare leaders to take on
higher and broader roles and
responsibilities in the near
future,
· Provide opportunities
to obtain experiential understanding
of Agency-wide, national and
global issues and their impact
on NASA’s mission and
U.S. goals,
· Enhance understanding,
effectiveness and mobility
across programs, projects
and Centers,
· Provide opportunities
to participate and contribute
while learning, and
· Create a culture
of collaborative leaders who
understand and focus on achieving
valuable results that matter
to the American people and
to the world.
The LDP as Part of NASA’s
Leadership Succession Planning:
As
part of an integrated Strategic
Human Capital Plan, the LDP
is a succession-planning tool
aimed at ensuring that NASA
has the leaders it needs for
the future. The LDP is intended
to prepare leaders to take
on higher and broader roles
and responsibilities in the
near future.
The
LDP is NOT a “guarantee”
of a future promotion or selection
for a particular position.
Rather, future promotion is
dependent upon the increased
leadership effectiveness of
the individual participant.
While
the LDP is aligned with the
NASA SES selection criteria,
it is not an “SES Development
Program”, and is not
a pre-requisite for entry
into the SES. Those specifically
interested in candidacy for
SES selection should consider
NASA’s SES Candidate
Development Program.
