Why should your company worry about bothering with the benefits of leadership coaching and leadership development? You have hired competent managers, and your supervisors are just fine. Why distract them from doing their jobs with seminars and boring meetings when they have jobs to do? After all, if they aren’t directly working, are they really contributing to your bottom line?
Why Worry About It?
The workforce is an ever changing pool of opportunities. As your managers become more proficient and your supervisors gain experience, they are going to want to move upward. This means that you either have to find new opportunities within the company or hire new management as turnover occurs. Hiring new management has its own problems, however. The new managers have to be trained and taught how your company works. While they have (as yet unproven) leadership skills, fitting them into your workforce is always a risk. But what if there was another option?
So What are the Other Options?
This is where leadership development comes in. In business, things occur that create an unexpected vacancy in your organizational chart. Having an employee who is already trained and ready to fill the vacancy can reduce your downtime significantly. But having an employee who is ready to step up does not just happen on its own. It will likely require a change in your current training style.
How Does This Happen?
This is where having a company dedicated to helping you develop your employees is essential. You need a company whose solutions are practical and focused on your business sector. Additionally, the method of training should challenge and motivate your employees to encourage knowledge retention with a focus on positive attitudes. Different people learn in different ways and your training and mentoring programs should reflect that.
Leadership development should be a continuous process in your organization. People are going to move on and it is imperative that your company has a way to quickly replace those losses. Development is difficult, however, and requires training on a number of levels. This is where Rod Sullivan come in.
