The goal of the Georgia Tech LEAD Program is to provide innovative and integrated world-class leadership education and programs that prepare students for the challenges and opportunities of the twenty-first century. The LEAD Program at Georgia Tech compliments the institution's outstanding academic programs by providing instruction to undergraduates in the kinds of knowledge and skills essential to becoming visionary and skilled leaders. The LEAD Program assumes that leadership is an observable and learnable set of practices and that provided the opportunity for proper instruction and practice, every student with persistence can substantially improve their leadership abilities.

The LEAD program seeks to develop students who are:

• Visionary
• Innovative
• Globally aware
• Skilled in teamwork, communication, and assessment
• Ethical and serve the community
