Leadership Training and Leadership Development: Are You Seeing Results?

March 12th, 2011 by admin No comments »

“I sent managers to leadership training, but I haven’t seen much of a result.”
“The training wasn’t very effective because it didn’t really change behaviors.”

These are common complaints about leadership training. New or prospective leaders are sent to various training events, but their bosses are often disappointed with the results. At the same time, those leaders who went to the training don’t feel it was much benefit because they were not given the opportunity to implement what they learned. The lessons fade off as an interesting, if not very useful, memory.

Other people in the organization observe this behavior and then follow suit.  Mid-level managers conclude that it is not important to master good leadership skills and they will model the executives’ behaviors.  As the undesirable behavior permeates throughout the organization, performance is negatively impacted.  Sales dip, costs increase, and employee dissatisfaction and turnover increases

Leadership Skills Are Important For Family, Company and Self

March 5th, 2011 by admin No comments »

It is a well known fact that most people believe that leaders are born, not made. It is also an unfortunate belief that those who have leadership potential also believe this as truth.

However the other camp believes that leaders can be made. The former statement is only partly true. There are those with charisma and the needed confidence to be leaders to the point they stand out as role models in many facets of society. Depending on work positions and a number of other factors these individuals are missing out on a grand slice of life. With just a bit of leadership training they might easily fulfill their role as society leaders.
