HOW TO LAY OUT YOUR LEADERSHIP TRAINING

It few days now to 2022.Are your leaders ready for it? Have your managers have the leadership capacity to guide employees towards achievement of company goals and objectives? Do they need training in order to deliver in the forthcoming year? When it comes to leadership skills, there are many ways to learn.?Think about the skills your individual managers need to develop, and how you can use each of these training methods and opportunities to help them build those competencies.For example;

?

Technology

Train your managers in the specific technological tools you use in your organization, including communication platforms, project management platforms, reporting tools, etc.

Mentoring/Coaching

Connect managers with an?experienced mentor ?who can give them honest feedback and provide managerial and leadership tips.

One-on-Ones

Don’t let feedback wait for performance reviews! Set up one-on-one meetings between upper management and your managers at fixed intervals — every one to two weeks typically works well for this type of meeting. Use the time to make sure that your managers are on the same page, and to provide additional?coaching.

Performance Reviews

This is a great time to review your managers’ long-term goals. Talk about what’s going well and what needs work.

Peer Feedback

Encourage leaders in your organization to get together and share tips and tricks that are necessary at their level, whether it’s frontline, mid-level, or senior leadership.

Individual Development Plans

Create a plan for each manager that asks:

• What are my objectives?
• What activities should I participate in?
• What resources will be helpful?
• How am I going to measure success?
• What am I going to get done?

This style of training forms better connections between leaders and their teams, their peers, their own career and personal development, and the company. Developing leadership skills is an ongoing effort at every level of management. Whether you’re working with high potential employees, new supervisors, mid-career managers, or leaders who have been in the role for decades, the ever-changing workplace requires leaders to continually look at how they can build their skills to better inspire and engage employees.
