The First Phase of the People First® Certification Program
Lannom Worldwide is revolutionizing the way the world’s businesses are conducting “business as usual.”
With laser-like precision, Jack Lannom and Lannom Worldwide have developed the ground-breaking People First® Leadership and Certification Program. The program provides organizations with a 3-month comprehensive system for developing powerful leaders at EVERY level, while strengthening and supporting their efforts to assess their corporate culture, identify their DESIRED corporate culture, and determine high-impact solutions for bridging the distance between the two.
Ultimately, each of these steps yields a healthier, more vital work environment and a stronger bottom line.
And the People First® Cultural Health Assessment is only the FIRST step in the first of three defining phases:
Phase 1:
Assess Organizational Alignment & Readiness for Change
Lannom Worldwide has developed the People First® Cultural Health Assessment survey in an effort to provide leaders with a clear, practical way of understanding their organization’s culture. The Employee/Purpose Partner® survey is administered via the Internet, using a reliable, secure web-based interface. The survey takes roughly 25 minutes to complete, and all results are sent directly to Lannom, Inc., to ensure anonymity. Employees/Purpose Partners® respond to questions regarding the cultural dimensions as outlined in Figure 2. Additionally, we can customize the survey to include additional questions focused on specific areas our clients are interested in targeting.
What You Get
Once the data collection phase is complete, the results are organized into a number of different segments. The next step is to ascertain strengths and weaknesses of the organization’s culture, or – in some instances - to compare the cultures of merging institutions.
Assess Organizational Alignment & Readiness for Change
Phase 2:
Position the Organization for Change
Phase 3:
Initializing the 3-month People First® Leadership & Certification Training to Ensure that All Necessary Support Systems are Properly in Place
Once the CHA has been completed and your personal Strategic Action Plan has been created, we design a completely customized 3-month strategic leadership program that compliments your organization’s unique mission statement, core values, and educational initiatives.
We begin this training with a comprehensive definition of leadership, before moving on to explain both the philosophy and the practices of the 10 Core Competencies that the men and women who will lead in this new millennium must master.
The training is conducted one day each week – in the comfort and convenience of your office – for a span of twelve weeks. The break between each of the training sessions will allow participants to put these skills to work in the proving ground of the workplace and return with their questions to subsequent sessions.
The 10 Core Competencies of the People First® Strategic Leadership Program
There’s a great deal of common ground shared by those who possess exemplary world-class leadership. At Lannom Worldwide, we’ve zeroed in on 10 Core Competencies EVERY organization can benefit from.
As these competencies come to life within your business, the result is a logically developed blend of both beliefs and behaviors that equip leaders to transform ordinary people into extraordinary performers. These ten strategies of strategic leadership are presented using our unique, applicable, and easy to use acrostic: L-E-A-D-E-R-S-H-I-P.
Logos: |
A unified “philosophy” that prompts systems thinking and raises morale |
| Example: | Walking the walk; internal integrity and consistency |
| Authority: | Power – the real power being the ability to transform purpose into performance, organization-wide empowerment, and permission to “fail” |
| Destiny: | When a group is united in its desire to achieve a worthy destiny, that group is marked by passion and a fire ignited in the human spirit |
| Education: | The “Leader’s Leader” is a learning leader AND an educator; knowledge is power and lifelong learning is of VITAL importance |
| Relationships: | One of the hallmarks of exemplary leadership is the ability of the leader to create and sustain strong relationships within the organization |
| Systems: | You need to integrate the best business systems with the best human systems. W. Edwards Deming insisted that 85% of the problems that plague corporate America are systems problems and only 15% are people problems |
| Happiness: | Most nations, companies, and families don’t crumble under the pressure of outside forces – they dissolve from within when there is no unifying culture to hold the pieces together. You need an organizational culture marked by happiness |
| Ideation: | Once you’ve got a cohesive culture marked by passion and purpose, leaders are able to stimulate breakthroughs in ideation and innovation. The greatest untapped resource in any organization is every team members’ creativity |
| Passing on a Legacy: | The long-term survival and vitality of any organization is inextricably linked to its ability to clearly and consistently pass on both the beliefs and behaviors of Strategic Leadership to successive generations of leaders |
Languages
The People First® Cultural Health Assessment is currently available in English and Spanish, and can be translated into any language, including French, Mandarin, Korean, Flemish, Portuguese, and German, just to name a few.

Dear Jack,
I want to personally thank you for the introduction of People First to Kimberly-Clark Professional. Your enthusiastic approach to leadership development and the awakening of the human spirit is contagious. We found the entire program to be valuable both in the workplace and at home.
We all search for heightened business results, but when within your search you can truly impact and make a difference in the lives of your employees you have accomplished far more than can be reflected on a P&L statement.
Since our certification on February 23, 2009 we have launched People First within our Customer Service Organization, our Partnership Products division, our Marketing Services group, and in April to our Administrative Assistant team. We are capitalizing on our momentum, and seizing the opportunity to reinforce People First® principles every day.
I thank you for your time, your talent and for PJ Bouchard. PJ was instrumental in setting the high energy tone each and every week. She connected with our team, and through her sincerity and strong conviction to People First, was able to pique the interest and lay the foundation for commitment in our leadership team. The two of you make quite a dynamic team – and a team that KCP will always celebrate our connection to.
Sincerely,
Richard Thorne
Vice President
KCP North America
