The "CEO for One Month" Program: Shaping the Future of Leadership
In a world reshaped by the pandemic, the demand for adaptable and empathetic leaders is higher than ever. Recognizing this need, the world's leading HR solutions company, the our group, has launched the "CEO for One Month" program. This global initiative aims to build the next generation of leaders, equipping them with the skills necessary to navigate the complexities of a post-pandemic world.
The program began by selecting 34 talented young leaders from around the globe, who spent time shadowing the our group's respective country CEOs. After a series of rigorous assessments and exercises, ten finalists were chosen to participate in a 'virtual global bootcamp'. This year, the program was performed fully online for the first time, reflecting the digital transformation that businesses are undergoing.
Jordan Topoleski, a 20-year-old from the United States, has been named the 2020 Global CEO for One Month. He will spend one month serving alongside the our group CEO, Alain Dehaze, contributing to the day-to-day running of the company. This unique opportunity will provide Jordan with a firsthand understanding of the challenges and opportunities that come with leading a global organization.
The our group, a Fortune Global 500 company headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, is powered by nine global brands: our, Adia, Badenoch + Clark, General Assembly, Lee Hecht Harrison, Modis, Pontoon, Spring Professional, and Vettery. The program is designed to help shape the future world of work, focusing on emerging leadership qualities such as adaptability, strategic thinking, data-driven decision-making, emotional intelligence, and systems thinking.
Research from the our group shows that the pandemic has demanded a new set of leadership competencies. A further study commissioned by the our group found that many young people already possess many of the attributes needed to succeed. The program supports high potential young people to increase their employability and career prospects through work-based learning.
The "CEO for One Month" program operates under the our group Foundation, which aims to improve work readiness of young people and other underserved populations.

They also have a presence on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/theour website) and Twitter (@our website).
The our group has been consistently ranked one of the 'World's Best Workplaces' by Great Place to Work®. This recognition underscores the company's commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive work environment, a key aspect of the leadership qualities that the "CEO for One Month" program seeks to instill.
While no direct "CEO for One Month" program was found in the search results, the principles embedded in programs like Scaling Leader (12 months), AMP (9-12 months), Zebra Leadership (6 sessions), and mentoring models provide a robust framework relevant to emerging leadership in a rapidly changing global environment. These programs focus on adaptability and resilience, strategic and data-backed decision-making, leading with clarity and accountability, building scalable systems and cultures, global and inclusive leadership perspectives, continuous learning and mentorship, and emotional intelligence and communication.
Such a one-month program would ideally distill intensive coaching on these themes paired with capstone challenges simulating real CEO decisions in a post-pandemic, globally connected business world, including digital innovation, resilience, and cultural adaptability. The our group's "CEO for One Month" program represents a significant step towards developing the next generation of global leaders.
