How BlackRock Built a Leadership Culture for Engineers

How do you turn a leadership gap into a program people line up to join? Join Joie Lim, Impact Consulting Lead at LifeLabs Learning, and Stephen LaSalle, Head of Strategic Architecture for Aladdin Platform Engineering at BlackRock, for a behind-the-scenes look at the Technology Leadership Acceleration Program (TLx) – a high-impact initiative that’s redefining how tech leaders grow inside BlackRock. You’ll learn how they turned a pressing need into one of the most in-demand programs in the company, and how you can adapt the same approach to create culture change in your own organization. In this fireside chat, we’ll explore: How to build a leadership program with built-in accountability and skill reinforcement Proven ways to get cross-functional stakeholder buy-in for talent development How to weave leadership excellence into your culture so it shapes daily behaviors, relationships, and results Whether you are creating a program from scratch or leveling up an existing one, this session offers practical inspiration and adaptable strategies to build leadership capacity that lasts. Part of our ongoing L&D Labs series, this event spotlights how great leadership programs are built, not in isolation, but in conversation.
