Management Training: Engaged Managers Produce the Best Results
If your managers aren’t engaged in your business, then it’s likely their employees are not engaged either. That’s like having pilots in a cockpit flying blind.
The demands of today’s company leaders are high and intense with layers of complexity. In fact, most of your leaders are probably technically competent, but they lack experience and the effectiveness that make them truly good leaders who can keep their employees happy and consistently engaged in the core values and goals of the organization. Engagement equals productivity.
Greater impact on the rules of engagement in your organization can be realized every day by your leaders’ ability to do these three things:
-Maintain and enhance employee self-esteem while dealing with everyday issues
-Base discussions about performance and work habits on behavior, not personalities and attitudes
-Involve employees in general problem solving and decision making
Everyone is flying in the same direction
These skills are so important. People need to know where they are headed on a regular basis – not just once a year or once a quarter. Each employee needs a daily dose of involvement with his or her manager. Informal conversation about what’s going on in the department and the work each employee is doing is very effective in keeping the team flying in the same direction.

How bad has the 18 months of incompetence, Barry’s On The Job Training leadership training experiment failed?
I used to be a liberal but 0bama has converted me to a Conservative. The experiment failed miserably already and Im afraid its only the beginning.
What effects does leadership training have on High school Students?
I would love to hear any thoughts, facts, and statistics. Thank you!
I have serious doubts about leadership trainings as a training. I’ve seen it where they will choose some students at random to give them the training, and it does more harm than good because kids don’t understand why one was chosen and the other not. Plus, I question the logic that leadership is learned in this fashion. Leadership is really earned.. it’s earned by leading. If a high school really wants to develop strong leaders than they need opportunities in the school for students to work and take responsibilities.
I’ve known a lot of students who run set up for teacher meetings, manage technology centers at the school, and work in the office. They jobs create leaders because they give students the power to make good and bad decisions. We don’t create leaders, we create opportunities for leaders to rise up.
