Do You need Training? ( 4 of 4 )

Too often, people are trained to young people and they wonder whether older people or their leaders are very committed and serious about the topics under discussion. As already mentioned, they are not.

I was one of the recommendations of the training company, based on an offer for an education. In connection with the inquiry, had its customers in training: “What will you do to make our politicians apply the lessons that you teach?” It seems a sensible May, the company, but he showed only the surrender of the common responsibility that companies use in training.

Even if the head of the group is not led by the training, it really helps when the head of the group operating in the training as a participant. It should be compulsory. This measure provides an orientation to the discussion and credible commitment by the end of the program ( “We will do that!”).

Even if the head of the group was through the formation of often before, it’s good for him, because only the boss can take part in meetings of the gravity that they need, and the measures as obligations in practice and verifiable.

To the discipline, the training programs should be mandatory and prereading pre-test (after which the participants can not participate if they are not). Yes, that sounds like a heavy, especially the training of managers, but I have many examples of companies that are investing in programs that are for a consensus to achieve changes in a company where half of the participants have developed, and a half not. The debate was a loss of all times, disturbs the two parties.

As Americans Cem said: “Instead of people distracted while working, training should be structured so that they are in improving the quality and efficiency, what they are today.” As such, the participation and the preparation is not optional.

The litany is simple: If it is worth to the training, it’s worth trying this in a way that should be distinguished. This means that they are in the right way of sitting, and the means of preparation. If someone does not want to prepare, they should not be allowed in the room, no matter how high. And if your program does not guarantee this level of rigor, you’re paddling and almost certainly lose a substantial portion of your time and money.

In 1994, I wrote an article about the objectives of the meeting, which has tried to make clear that in order to be effective, a meeting is not just an agenda, but they have a limited number of clear objectives. In numerous seminars, speeches and training programs suffer from lack of understanding on this issue. Too many companies are familiar with the agenda of topics to cover, but not enough thought about the objectives they have, and how these goals can be achieved.

The summary is as follows: When the training was regularly operating in the targeted issues, right, if the group is training, and with the head of the group in space, they can immediately a discussion on how they intend to provide training of ideas in practice. With proper preparation and monitoring, training can be very powerful.

Without all of this can (and usually is) a huge opportunity.
