OL 655 Case Study Two: The CEO Institute Focused on Meaningful Leadership Experiences Guidelines and Rubric

Overview
This course includes two case studies. These exercises are designed to actively involve you in human resource management decision making and help you apply
the concepts covered in the course to complex real-world situations. The case studies provide practice reading and give experience analyzing employee
competencies, planning strategic talent development strategies, and forecasting workforce needs. These exercises also provide practice communicating your
reasoning in a professional manner.

Case Study
According to Nancy Reardon (2011), senior vice president and chief human resources and communications officer at Campbell Soup Company, the goal the

company’s CEO Institute is to “create the most meaningful leadership experience participants have ever had” (p. 46). The two-year residential programs are

capped at 20-24 participants, and include members from across the company, representing a wide variety of positions, physical locations, and departments.

Participants begin by hand-writing a letter to the CEO of the company, affirming their commitment to the program. They are then are instructed and supported

through a five-module program, consisting of intensive multi-day workshops with homework and reflective activities between each meeting. The modules begin

with fundamentals, then work through exemplary leadership across the field and participants’ internal reasons for leading. Finally, modules four and five focus

on inspiring others, coaching, and “paying it forward” (p. 48).
