Management Training: Are You Satisfied With The Results?
If you’re not satfied with the results of your management training programs, maybe it’s because you handle training as a ‘one shot’ event rather than a process of developing your people to be better managers.One of the common misconceptions is that a manager can take a course and voila he is now skilled in communicating with others, or managing his time or delegating work. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Neither will people change in one day. Particularly many leadership competencies require several courses and ongoing feedback and reinforcement. Here is how you can get the biggest bang from your training dollars:Make sure training is ‘just in time’. Provide training when people need it not when it’s on a schedule. If people know they will immediately be able to use the new skills or information, they’ll be more motivated to learn. Otherwise they’ll see it as a waste of time.Create performance tools.

The power stayed off for at least an hour, which quite honestly seemed like three days. The problem was the telephone was still working, so that meant I was still fielding phone calls with problems and questions. Without my e-mail, I don't have access to all the reports that I would get on a daily basis. The interesting thing about e-mail is, I think more people check their e-mail than surf the internet on a daily basis. I know people that I used to work with that did not have computers at home, and it was against company policy to surf the internet while at work. My mother is another perfect example, she rarely surfs the internet but is constantly sending me e-mails with jokes and funny pictures. There are
