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.

The Big Leadership Development Myth

Over the last couple of decades, the training industry, hand in hand with corporate HR has developed the following myth: if managers go offsite for a training session once or a couple of times a year, they listen to some smart stuff or play a few games yielding “aha” experiences, gain insights about themselves and others, they go back to work, take a U-turn and change from autocratic assholes to ideal people managers.

Why most initiatives fail to increase employee engagement?

Last week, I attended an CHRO meeting where the debate was about employee engagement. Many companies talked about implementing health programs, flexplaces, table soccer, LTIs, dogs at workplace and many creative ideas. But still, almost all of them complained of high attrition rate, especially in the first year of the employment.

A single e-mail is good for nothing

I frequently experience that a manager is awfully surprised when his people fail to deliver what he expects from them in the way he prefers, no matter if they belong to his own team, they are peer managers, project team members or colleagues from other departments.
