What is the significance of Leadership Trainings for organizations?

While the success of organizations hinges on many factors, having a great leadership team certainly helps them stay ahead of competition. A strong leadership team creates high performing teams that in turn generate the required business results.

Leadership skills are built through a range of options that include training (experiential, social, and self-directed), coaching, mentoring, and so on. To create long-term success, organizations must invest on Leadership Training to handle key positions. These are not limited to CXO positions alone but also cover mid-level and even the lowest level of leaders.

When done right, leadership development initiatives will create leaders across levels who are confident, competent, and can create and lead high-performing teams. Well-crafted Leadership Trainings not only help organizations create the right leadership talent; they also help them create more engaged, productive, and highly motivated teams that are aligned to the business goals.

What approaches can you adopt to enhance the impact of Leadership Trainings?

The impact of your Leadership Training program (across levels) can be enhanced through the following tips:

• Leverage the immersive and engaging strategies that create sticky learning.
• Focus not just on learning but more significantly on its application on the job.
• Offer plenty of room for reflection and have safe practice zones to enable participants to hone their skills.
• Provide ongoing connects for retention, reinforcement, and further learning.
• Adopt measures that will help achieve the goal of behavioral change (increase self-awareness, case studies that reflect desirable aspects, spaced repetition, and so on).
• Encourage continuous and self-directed learning by providing learning resources that can be pulled by the participants.
• Integrate additional support measures like coaching, mentoring, and shadowing for success.
• Track and measure the impact:
  • Establish a team for each level that includes the participant’s Supervisor as well as key members from his/her team. Poll them to assess the impact of the Leadership Training.
  • Plan for ongoing tracking (on the success factors that are directly attributable to the Leadership Training) and use the analysis to fine tune/update the program.
  • Celebrate every step of success and share these instances or stories across the organization.
