Need to Develop Your Leaders? Consider These Corporate Leadership Training Options
There are many corporate leadership training programmes on the market. But how do you know which one is the best for your business?
Answer these questions to get you on the right track:
Who needs the training?
If it is an individual in a small company, then I recommend he/she completes:
- a public leadership training programme. The individual will learn from others as well as the trainer. Ideally the programme will be spaced over a number of months to allow them to apply learning. Or:
- a distance learning programme, available over the internet or at a local learning institution, which can be completed outside of normal working hours.
If you have a group of managers (or employees with potential for leadership), then I recommend:
- an in-company programme. Your managers will not only benefit from training that can be targeted to their specific business and personal needs, they will also learn to work better together, as a team.
You are likely to see a consensus approach towards making change happen which can have a very positive impact on the business. For example, one client we worked with saw a real change in the way meetings were conducted.
Another benefit is that the managers can practice the skills learned on actual work challenges between workshops, and reflect on them back in the learning environment.
So if you decide an in-company programme is the right option for you, this is where In-Tuition can help.
What do you expect them to do afterwards?
Typically, corporate leadership training is delivered so that those attending will contribute more to the business, come up with fresh ideas, and be more skilled at managing people. Whatever the reason, be very clear what your expectations are.
If you are in a restaurant, you don't ask for meat. You might order a medium rare fillet steak with pepper sauce on the side.
The same rule applies with training; focus in on your business issues and what outcomes you want. Agree exactly what will be covered with the trainers involved in facilitating the programme.
What resources do you have available?
How much time can you invest in the training? From our experience, dividing the programme into one day workshops held a few weeks apart is very effective, with project work to apply learning between sessions.
Will you host the training in-house or at a local venue? The latter is a better option if possible: there will be less interruptions to the programme and it allows participants to switch out of work mode into a learning mode.
Just as in a restaurant, a good setting and atmosphere makes all the difference to the success of the programme. You will be investing in course fees and employee time, so it makes sense to do it right.

What others have said
In-Tuition recently held a short communications seminar which gave a taste of the Leadership programme to participants.
Here is what one senior HR Manager from the banking sector had to say, having attended the seminar:
What did I like about it?
I was initially concerned about attending the seminar. I had many business commitments and was also concerned about possible budget constraints, but I am glad I attended.
It gave me a good sense of what the longer Leadership programme covers and the target audience it is aimed at. It was also a great opportunity to meet and discuss issues in common with other participants from similar backgrounds. I liked the lively pace and good interaction between participants and facilitators.
What did I learn?
It gave me an increased awareness and knowledge of learning styles, both mine and others. I also picked up good learning points on communication techniques, presentation styles and effective listening.
Role plays were structured and an excellent way to put the theory into practice and demonstrate how you can improve relations at work by using some of the simple techniques presented on the day.
Would I recommend it to others?
I would recommend the content of the seminar to people who are perhaps moving into or who have been recently appointed into people leadership roles. The seminar was professionally delivered and all questions dealt with efficiently and comprehensively by Ann. She has a relaxed style which creates a safe environment conducive to learning.
