Leadership Training: Give Your Organization Firepower
Leadership Training: Give Your Organization Firepower
alone.”
How is this quote from Al Capone, the legendary American mobster, relevant to
today’s workplace? It certainly does NOT mean settling conflicts by issuing your
employees firearms with their staplers and highlighters.
Just replace “a kind word” with your employees’ current skill sets and “a gun” with
leadership training.
Is your organization full of “kind words?” Empowering your employees by providing
them with leadership training can give your organization the “guns” it needs to rise
above your competitors to the height of your industry. Without strong leaders, your
organization may end up six feet under.
If your organization is not lucky enough to have employees who naturally lead, you
can send them to the leadership program offered by a local School Board’s
continuing education department (and cover all the costs) or bring a private training
company like us in-house to deliver a custom-designed program or course.
Why does your organization need leaders? Unfortunately, if you are asking this
question, you are already behind the pack. Leadership shapes your organization’s
culture from the inside out. Instead of faceless executives telling them what to think
and how to feel, employees can mold their values, basic assumptions, and beliefs
themselves.
Leaders create conditions that enable people to have happy and productive lives.
This means giving employees time and support to try new ideas and learn from the
mistakes that come from experimentation. Today’s workplace is changing and
evolving at a breakneck speed, who do you think has a better pulse on these
advances: your leaders on the frontline, or your reactive managers?
You can give your employees the inner strength it takes to be a leader by devoting
substantial time to issues of attitude, morale and motivation. Leadership is also
about constantly finding new and meaningful ways to show respect, appreciation,
and recognition for the people who make it all happen. Combine these tips with
effective leadership training and your employees will begin functioning at a pace
never before seen by your organization.
By giving your employees “guns” through leadership training, your organization will
reap the rewards. After all, guns don’t kill organizations; poor leadership does.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
