Corporate business leadership training is rarely effective today. Normally this training means that there will be a 2 month fad that middle management will have to develop, roll out and then abandon because the executive management team has decided to go in a different direction.
Why don’t most companies have an effective corporate leadership training programs? There are lots of answers but one that generally comes to ablaze is that these programs accommodate accepted practices and theories. They lack direction, support and practical application.
The key step is to understand that an effective online management training by nature is going to force people to step out of their comfort zone and embrace change. There needs to be a adjustment to the carelessness to be effective. They are some critical pieces in the process to have developed in these corporate training programs to ensure they are a valuable use of time, resources, and funds.
The key points are:
Begin with the end in mind. What are the goals and objectives of the training? Who will it impact and how will it impact their job, duties, and others that they work with?
How do I take the theory and put in practical application to ensure the knowledge has use in the day to day business activities. Do not believe that knowledge is power, but rather applied knowledge is power!
Make sure the program has the support of upper management. No elastic brand approvals, but alive captivation and chase up at all levels.
Follow the C.E.A. method:
Communication. What is the program and how does it impact the job role or function?
Execution. What am I supposed to do with this program? How should I perform?
Accountability. How will I be captivated accountable? This can be positive and negative accountability.
Definitive chase up is the final footfall in the process. Make sure everyone knows what the next steps are and when they need to be completed by. Be specific and clear to ensure effective communication so people know where they need to execute. Then hold them accountable to that execution.
Take your program and review the progress over a course of time. Repeat the steps above as often as needed until the goal is achieved.
