Prompt objective
Create a leadership development program that prepares successors for key positions, combining technical management training, senior executive mentoring, and high-impact practical projects.
Real use case
A company identified that 40% of current managers will retire in 5 years and the succession bench covers only 25% of critical positions. The current leadership program is generic (same content for everyone) and does not actually prepare people for the next level. The CHRO wants a 12-month program that produces 30 leaders ready for promotion.

Replace the placeholders with your own context before you run the prompt. That usually improves the first output more than adding more instructions later.
