Leadership Development Training New York Setting New Standards In Personnel Utilization

By Dennis Lewis


In a review of Leadership Development Training New York takes a lead by introducing original schemes designed to achieve optimal staff performance. Tailored around individuals, as opposed to an entire group, it has been found that better transfer of skills is accomplished.

Company annual general reports regularly make statements referring to their workforce as their greatest asset. Yet in many instances the investment of time, money, and resources in the workforce do not match these fine words. It is important to remember that only an extremely small number of people are born with natural leadership skills. In the vast majority of cases the skills required to lead a workforce have to be instilled, developed and nurtured just like most specific skills.

For business leaders to manage this process effectively, it is vital that they are able to spot and comprehend the steps of the leadership evolution. Having successfully completed the desired theoretical training, there are basically three main phases that the recently appointed leader will follow. The first is the intuitive phase followed by the transitional phase and finally the management phase.

During the intuitive step the newly appointed leader will tend to take the majority of work related decisions themselves. Immersing themselves in technicalities they will also be spending more time telling others what to do in contrast to using good listening practices. Organization will revolve more around the personality of individuals, recognition is monopolized and tasks controls performed by observing.

The transitional stage is the period when the new leader will require the most support and, most importantly, the most patience. Experimenting with a new skill set has many ups and downs. Characteristics include: poorly motivated people, poor communication, inflexibility, and frequent crises. Costs may escalate during this period.

It is important for an accomplished management member to provide guidance and be supportive during this phase. Mentoring by a another recognized and skilled manager will also be invaluable. It is likely for the incumbent to be lacking confidence and have feelings of not been able to achieve anything. Identify and reinforce even the smallest achievement during this time.

The leadership period is characterized with the newly appointed leader growing into their role. Decisions are made more by the people performing work which leaves more time for the appointee to concentrate on the role of a manager. Organization starts to be driven by results and benefits accrue to the work team. Improvements occur in the way the team communicates, information is transferred both ways with improved levels of understanding. Exception is the method by which controls in the work area are governed.

Slowly, and sometimes painfully, our new leaders learn that people will help them get what they want to the extent that they believe leadership will in turn help them get what they want. The realization that leaders get results through others and that it is possible to multiply their own efforts by the skills and abilities of others, starts to sink in. Nothing succeeds like success.

The objectives of all leadership is essentially the same, however, the method and route to achieving this may vary widely depending on the individual. Senior company officials have a duty to nurture potential leaders within their companies. To achieve this it is now becoming clear that these efforts need to be focused on individualized training needs.
