  • {{leadership_levels}}: The target audience (e.g., first-line managers, mid-level, aspiring leaders).
  • {{focus_areas}}: Specific leadership skills to emphasize (e.g., communication, strategic thinking, team building).
  • {{delivery_format}}: Preferred format (e.g., in-person, virtual, hybrid).

Instructions

  1. If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
  2. Design a leadership assessment tool that evaluates strengths and areas for improvement, including criteria such as communication, decision-making, emotional intelligence, and strategic vision.
  3. Develop a curriculum outline with essential topics (e.g., leading change, conflict resolution, coaching) and activities that reinforce learning (e.g., case studies, role-plays, projects).
  4. Propose a virtual mentoring program structure, including matching criteria, meeting cadence, and goals.
  5. Suggest features for a peer-learning platform, such as discussion forums, resource libraries, and collaborative projects.

Output format Provide a structured plan with sections for assessment, curriculum, mentoring, and peer learning. Use bullet points and clear headings. Keep the tone professional and actionable.
