How Leaders Are Engaged In Learning and Talent Activities

Source – CorpU 10th Annual Benchmarking Study of Learning Excellence and Innovation

McKinsey Research

• 66% say company training programs do not strengthen capabilities that add the most value to business performance.

• Only 25 percent said company training programs are “extremely” or “very effective” in preparing employee groups to drive business results.

When senior leaders set the training agenda, capability building is linked explicitly to immediate business goals, and learning programs focus more directly on core skills that make a difference to business performance.

On behalf of the IS organization I wanted to thank you for taking the time to come to Florenceville and take the group through the 2 day LE Essentials material. This was a truly beneficial 2 days for the group and has opened up everyone's eyes to the potential this program holds for our future leaders.

The group was well engaged, enjoyed the material extremely, has a better appreciation for the benefits and loved the style and approach you brought to the session. I believe we now have a clear insight into the potential, we have people ready to get going and we have a foundation to get going with.

Time well spent and truly valuable to the companies future growth and leadership.

I found the Leadership Essentials “Train the Trainer” program to be some of the best meeting/training facilitation training I’ve ever experienced. I have been fortunate to attend meeting leadership & facilitation training at three other Fortune 500 companies over the years and I found both the curriculum of this program as well as the workshops and breakouts to be extremely well prepared and delivered. I am not allowing any of my newly designated Sales Trainers facilitate a single Sales Training session until they have completed the LE TTT program.

Leaders as Teachers – from the leaders perspectiveLeaders as Teachers – from the leaders perspective

It was an extremely rewarding and valuable experience. Everyone was extremely motivated and wanted to learn. It was also great co-facilitating with a peer from a completely different function. I am looking forward to the next class. It is extremely rewarding and fun watching our people grow.

Paul,

Can I get a copy of the Leadership PowerPoint presentation? I really enjoyed the class and appreciated the honesty and Leadership shared by both Dave and yourself. This was a nice way to back all the hype on the PEP and growing with McCain programs.

Thanks

I just wanted to share some of the feedback from my supervisors.

All 4 of my supervisors attended Tuesday's class. They all said that the training was great. While they have all attended 1st time supervisor classes before, these were directly related to our pillars and each of them walked away having learned something. They also said that they really enjoyed Paul & David, that they worked well together, and they liked the fact that they weren't "professional trainers". The class was more personable and they felt that they could all relate better.

"I really appreciate the honesty in sharing real McCain examples and the idea that titles are left at the door. SLT members leading the classes is fantastic and shows a commitment to “leaders training leaders”!

Thank you for taking the time to teach this class. It means a lot when executives teach the values a company believes in and interact with its employees. I learned a lot.
