to make the leap

[Sepmre]

Hi,

Does this idiom mean "to make a great change?"


Thanks

You surely know by now that we need a full sentence to consider.

I am quite aware of rules but unfortunately it's just a title.

Going through the book I encountered another sentence with this idiom. Here it is:

You conducted research, spoke with your loved ones and made a leap knowing that odds were stacked against you.

"Making a leap", if it's used for a mental process, means making a choice, decision, commitment, etc. without any adequate logical justification to do so.

Person A: Everybody hates me!
Person B: Why do you say that?
Person A: Because no one's answered my question yet.
Person B: That's a bit of a leap, isn't it?
