If we look into the graphs by geography, it is very interesting to see the differences in the ways of learning as well as how many people answered.
This might also indicate cultural differences to the different approaches and differences in what is available for individuals to choose from.
I usually go by reading, feedback and watching leaders around me (not out of admiration, but as observation...one can always learn from both good and bad leadership).

I'm exploring opportunities from a certification perspective and focusing on two different routes, specifically in healthcare. The first of which is a FACHE, and the other a CHIME CDH-E or CHCIO. 

For context, I'm a healthcare IT leader building toward a CIO scope and board/PE advisory role. US-based.

If you have FACHE, CHCIO, or CDH-E, what changed for you?

We are in the middle of redesigning our leadership development program and are having a debate about if the cohorts should be made up the same teams (So a VP and their Directors, Directors and their managers, etc) or if the cohorts should be cross-functional with limited consideration given to reporting relationships. The cohorts would run 6-18 months depending on the track.

Has anyone done cohort-based learning where a leadership team did it all together? What were pros and cons vs a more random cross-functional cohort?
