Training to groom leaders

Leaders are born and not made or is it the other way round?I am of teh firm belief that leaders are made and not born. So who is responsible for making leaders?It's us as trainers who can not not only train them to understand the nuances of leadership but also motivate, counsel, mentor and handhold them till they realize their latent potential.Most of the leaders from across sectors or even diverse walks of life had someone or the other who acted as their trainer.Interestingly the training set up to groom leaders at most times happens in an informal setup more than that of the formal surroundings.It is here that a prospective candidate if sincere can pick up lot of threads finally culminating in becoming a leader.Some myths and misconceptions about leadership should be thrown out of the door before one decides to lead................know more from me.........

Learning organizations are training oriented

Every organization spends substantial sum under training, however, to what extent the training programs are successful depends on the culture of the organization. My personal experience while consulting with organizations revealed that a learning organization, where the seed is sown for learning at every point in time, extracts the most from the training programs. The general tendency to do training just for the sake of it is needless as they only spend those amounts without deriving any tangible benefits out of it.For that to happen an organization has to imbibe a culture of learning during success and failure and subsequently think of making it a training organization, where each and every employee welcome change with open arms.

Training self

Can you be a trainer for self?Yes, its very much possible to be a trainer and trainee, especially if one is willing to transform through learning at every point in time. Metamorphosing from a trainee to trainer and vice versa calls for lot of maturity on the part of the individual as he has to be rational and matured enough to know when to switch gears and align himself with the environment. Moreover, the personality shoudl be tuned in such a way that he knows the dual role to perfection which not only results in self development, but also has a positive spill over into the surroundings.

Removing Training Phobia

Many potential trainers run away or shrug off from their responsibilities, only because they develop a training phobia.It may result due to various reasons, viz. stage fear, lack of confidence, personality clashes and the like.There are various ways to prevent it as one can very well leverage his or her experience in training his peers, subordinates by cashing on the rich experiences gathered over the years. My modules on removing training phobia clubs the people into homogeneous groups depending upon their latent capabilities, experience profile and the reason of the phobia.After 7 weeks of rigorous treatment, a candidate can very well kick start his training responsibilities in diverse set-ups, which till a few weeks back was a pipe dream.

Training on Boss Management

Boss Management is equally effective as that of subordinate management as a smooth two way relationship ensures bumper free movement of resources, finally culminating in increased productivity. My modules on boss management are more of customized one rather than off the shelf offerings as my view about management of boss varies from person to person.This is precisely the reason why i term my boss management modules as mentoring and counseling sessions, rather than training programs. Boss management training programs are not one shot dose, they are continuous interface between the trainer and the trainee and therefore, I advise all my trainees to send their feedback and observations regularly.

Training for building peer relationships

Peer relationships play an important role in all types of organization, more so because we live in the wrold of integrated management, where water tight compartment approach is a passe. It is easier said than done, when it comes to build effective peer relationships. My training modules which have been devised after rigorous research and brain storming with the fellow trainers and trainees have started to give me the expected yield. I am closely studying the impact of training people on building effective and long lasting peer relationships for which I found out that role play, simulation, case analysis, operation workouts are workable and result oriented tools for driving home the points.

Training for the grassroot workers

Grassroot workers across sectors have some commonality and differences. One close comparison would reveal that there are more of commonalities, than differences, therefore I have formulated off the shelf training module for such grassworkers across industries.My first two instances of leveraging these modules have been encouraging, therefore I am trying to upgrade the same after every attempt. It helps in many ways as far as the target audience is concerned.

Training for the Healthcare sector

It was my recent experiences as a customer when one of my closed relatives was being treated in medium scale and a large healthcare center, that I observed there is an urgent need for this sector to be trained on management, so as to deliver services matching the need of the customer(read patient).While medium and small players are completely unware about the importance of management training and applications in their set-up the bigger players, so called healthcare majors from the organised sectors have adopted management practices and training in a piece-meal fashion.While the former never ever thought about training, the latter has adopted it in bits and pieces mainly as an eye-washing tool.On the basis of this I have prepared a management case study and various training modules exclusively for the healthcare players, which I am going to deliver shortly to one of the players in Mumbai.

Mobile Training

Mobile Training, they say is supposed to be the next big thing.There are indications around which would promptly make one comment that since the penetration rate of mobile phones are more than that of computer, the potential for online training is the maximum through this mode.The question which would arise in anybody's mind is what is going to be the role of a trainer in a mobile training set-up?There are enough indications showing that a trainer has to play the role of a facilitator like that of the electronic training mode, however, since the training delivery is mobile and not sedentary, it calls for more versatility on the part of the trainer-trainee duo.

Training wannabe Entrepreneurs

Training budding entrepreneur is fun as well as challenging. A first generation entrepreneur is difficult to train as he has to be imparted the threads from the scratch, on the contrary, second and third generation entrepreneurs have already understood the basics by simple observation and feels they have it in their genes.However, for the trainer, all trainees are the same and they only differ when it comes to planning training approaches, building up modules and imparting the same.My experience with first generation trainees were eye-openers when it came to new ideas, whereas the old hats were more informative as they learnt more on the basis of their experience.
