Developing Managers
From our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) down, we foster a responsible, inclusive and ethical approach to management. Managers take part in tailored programs (complemented by online courses) to advance the skills and behaviors we expect of them, such as:
- Essentials of Managing People - a program of interactive activities and simulated work scenarios designed to equip managers with the tools, techniques and mindset necessary to lead high-performing teams
- Situational Leadership II - a program to help managers effectively communicate with their teams in order to increase team competence and retain talent.
"Hasbro's present and future success depends on the quality of its leadership. We invest a lot of time and effort in developing our leadership talent for mission critical positions that will ensure Hasbro’s continued success."
Strong leadership is paramount to the future success of our business. To prepare our most talented people to lead tomorrow’s company, we offer two programs in which senior management act as both teachers and mentors.
Hasbro Global Leadership Program – this one-week intensive course guides nominated employees through Hasbro’s strategic thinking. It focuses on building our global organization, networking and personal leadership skills. Since early 2000, over 275 Hasbro leaders have completed this program at Dartmouth College’s Tuck Business School in Hanover, New Hampshire.
High Performance Leadership – a real-world course that allows us to observe high-potential leaders and map their future career moves. Participants travel to a challenging commercial market, where they immerse themselves in the local environment and then come up with a brand strategy for Hasbro to implement. Coaches assess their leadership behaviors and provide support and feedback. Back at their usual workplace, participants pursue their business plan, contending with different time zones, cultures and the demands of their regular jobs in order to deliver a final project to the CEO and management team. Since 2007, 170 leaders have been through this program working in Bulgaria, Romania, Russia, Turkey, Germany, Amsterdam, China, and Dubai.
