How can you provide leadership development solutions for managers with tight schedules?

Developing people management skills is an eternal challenge for most of the companies. Leadership trainings are hard to organize, costly and organizations do not have much information about their efficiency.

Trainings revolve around a false assumption: if people understand it, they do it. We all experience it is not true. However there is an innovative way to help managers with tight schedules to train their leadership skills.

There is no company who don’t want to retain employees and increase their engagement level. They recognize the competitive advantage that leaders can add to motivate and keep the best workforce in the company. However, providing them one or two trainings in a year will not bring the desired success. Skills development is the result of longer-term, regular practice supported by follow-up.

Why leadership development is so decisive nowadays?

Towers Watson or Gallup concluded in their surveys about employee engagement that many of the key factors that determine workplace engagement are related to people management. It is the leaders of the team who empower individuals and create the opportunity for them to excel, or not. It is the leaders who help articulate a compelling and relevant vision. It is the leaders who demonstrate praise-worthy values, or not.

Developing Collaboration: A Deeper Dive

Over the past decades, numerous approaches have been tested in the world of training folklore to enhance collaboration in organizations. Perhaps the most widespread approach involves the leadership team attending a “team-building training,” where they engage in various playful exercises to experience the difference between collaboration and competition or work together in training activities that are supposed to foster “aha” moments. Examples include trust falls, helping each other through spiderweb-like structures made of ropes, building rafts from plastic bottles or bridges from spaghetti, walking on fire, or participating in fun games in a forest clearing. The experiences gathered “then and there” are discussed afterwards, and everyone hopes that once back at work, all friction or siloing will be resolved for good. Unfortunately, that’s rarely the case.

Home office szerencsekártya: Lépj vissza a Start mezőre!

Mindig érdekes kicsit szélesebb perspektívából rátekinteni a dolgokra, amikor már túl vagyunk az “aktuális HR trendeken” és egyéb hasonló finghevítéseken.
Kb. másfél-két évtizede még annyira ritka volt a home office, hogy egy kis tanácsadócég résztulajdonosaként saját magam számára is csak összeszorult gyomorral vezettem be a szerdánként otthonról dolgozást. Nem azért, mert ne bíztunk volna a kollégákban, akiknek amúgy se volt munkaidejük, szabadon mozoghattak, hanem amiatt, hogy vajon miként élik meg majd a csapattagok, hogy Tamás “lóg” minden héten egy napot az irodából. Pedig nagy mértékben növelte a hatékonyságot: az otthoni napomon baromi jól haladtam az önállóan végzendő tevékenységekkel, megúsztam 1-1 óra bumlizást oda-vissza a Moszkva térre a dugóban, és sokkal jobban feltöltődve, motiváltabban csináltam az ügyfélmunkát hétfő-kedden, valamint csütörtök-pénteken.
