Case Study: Whirlpool strengthens future leaders with Center for Creative Leadership

Whirlpool strengthens leadership pipeline with Center for Creative Leadership across 3-day programs

Whirlpool Corporation, a global home appliance manufacturer, sought to strengthen its pipeline of future directors and senior leaders and enhance their ability to work across boundaries and inspire teams. The Center for Creative Leadership (CCL) partnered with them to address this challenge, developing a customized leadership development program.

The solution was a tailored 3-day program called Leading With Impact, which included assessments, videotaping, and personalized coaching from CCL. This program, which later expanded to include courses for early-career professionals and managers, achieved consistently high ratings near 4.9 on a 5-point scale. Participants reported it as the most impactful program of their careers, and many alumni from the initial sessions went on to become senior leaders who returned to teach in the program, demonstrating its lasting value.
