Mastering the Inner Game of Leadership

As one of the largest consumer goods companies in the world, Unilever is uniquely positioned to create positive change in the world and to realize their mission - to make sustainable living commonplace.
 
Since 2018, Potential Project has been working with Unilever to bring to life their “standards of leadership” through a customized, global learning program and retreat which activates their leaders' “inner game”. Potential Project provided the ability to work at scale, at speed and in multiple languages and cultures.
 
The flagship program, “A Leader's Journey”, is a transformative, 5-session journey. Designed for emerging leaders, the program fosters a profound understanding of one's “inner game" for enhanced self-awareness, growth mindset, and emotional intelligence. The program equips leaders with the insights and practical tools necessary to lead with selflessness and compassion. Through experiential learning, participants delve into their personal strengths and growth areas, learning to navigate the polarities and complexities of leadership today. “A Leader's Journey” prepares individuals to inspire and manage teams with a deep commitment to nurturing talent and driving collective success in a supportive and inclusive manner.
 
Recently, Unilever recognized the urgent need to not only retain market leadership but to also accelerate a culture of enhanced innovation, focused performance and continuous care. As senior leadership seek to integrate ambitious performance goals with a deep commitment to Unilever’s Purpose and Values, Unilever is working with Potential Project to both sharpen its performance edge and to dial up on care for their people.
 
Our latest program, “Enabling a Performance Edge through Caring Performance", is rolling out to senior leadership with multiple modalities including face-to-face, virtual and blended. The foundation of these engaging, hands-on workshops is Potential Project's ground-breaking research that demonstrates high performance and human leadership are complementary, not contradictory. Through individual assessments, reflective team discussions, and practical tools integrated into day-to-day work practices, Unilever leaders learn to adopt new behaviors and sharpen their performance edge while also caring deeply for their people.
 
As Unilever scales these initiatives, the company solidifies its reputation as a leader in sustainable business practices that prioritize both human and corporate health, setting a new standard for leadership in the modern corporate world.

Potential Project uses deep research to demonstrate that compassionate and wise leadership
is not an alternative to a performance culture, but is a key accelerator of it.
