As I get out and talk to businesses in our community, the most common challenge I hear (regardless of industry) is the question:

How do we create good leaders?

Many businesses are making the effort to promote as much as possible from within and use that commitment to retain good employees. 

The problem with creating new leaders is they are not trained leaders. As one of our trainers said in a class recently,

“You can have the best chair maker, but that doesn’t mean they will be the best leader of a team making chairs.”

Not instinctively, at least.

With a fairly small investment of time from an employer, a leader, or even a team of leaders, can become great. Like learning any skill, they just need the right training.

The same principle applies to leadership teams. Leaders with years of experience at the company might struggle with a new member of the team.

Differences in style, communication, or even generations can cause breakdowns among even the most skilled employees.

The right training can be transformational for the individual and the entire organization. And it is often adopted much more quickly than you might think.

Investing in employees shows your commitment to them, as well as helps to build buy-in through deeper understanding from them.
