What Makes This Program Different (and Better)?

Are you an operating executive who wants to create better people leaders on your team, or in HR and trying to help high-performing managers of people grow and differentiate themselves?

PLANET™ is your secret weapon. This program helps companies increase organizational capability by cutting through the fluff and getting to the core differentiators that help them unleash the full potential of their people. PLANET™ starts with a reflection on personal leadership, supported by key concepts and frameworks, and is brought to life through action learning.

The Program Focuses on the Following Outcomes:

  • Understanding one’s personal leadership philosophy and brand, and the bold steps needed to influence others successfully. We leverage Hogan Leadership Assessments to help participants tune in to the capabilities that will facilitate or interfere with their performance day-to-day and under stress, and the environment they are likely to create.
  • Integrating business and people leadership strategy for stronger organizational performance.
  • Leading more effective and faster change.
  • Mastering best practices for attracting talent, developing other leaders, increasing inclusion, and facilitating remote teams.
  • Gaining insights on the changing nature of work, workforce, and workplace, and implications for new ways of leading.

  • A case study focused on building a people leadership strategy to enable the business strategy.
  • Peer learning and cohort networking that continues past the end of the program.

Program Audience

Participants are generally identified as high potential, high performing leaders with significant people leadership responsibilities as part of their jobs. We look to build a strong cohort with members who come from various industries and functional disciplines, bring diverse perspectives, and have 10+ years of experience.
