How Leadership Training and Development is Failing Our Prospective Leaders
One of the biggest problems that we are faced with in business in this country is the complete lack of leadership by so many managers. They epitomize the famous saying, "If you have a hammer in your hand, everything around you look like a nail."
So many managers are one-dimensional. They only have one tool in their leadership toolkit. This tool comprises threats and punishment. So people are given non-compliance notices, verbal warnings and written warnings. I've been around long time and I've never found anyone who behaves better as they are treated progressively worse.
Surely, the manager that can only use threats and punishment as a way of getting the behavior that they want, is grossly incompetent. This is the typical bullying behavior. They should never be allowed out of the playground let alone lead people. These people should be stripped of any authority and made to work for six months under one of their kind. There, they will see life from a different perspective and realize the limitations of their own leadership skills.
The next stage is to take them through a comprehensive practical leadership program where they have to practice their leadership skills. There is no point sending them on an adventure course so they can learn to abseil, canoe and fall off cliff faces. Research is shown that they often return from these adventures, worse off than when they started. What happens is their arrogance has just been given a boost.
Leadership training is organic and emotional and firmly based in the workplace where it is applied. There is no way that we can replicate the workplace in the classroom, yet every day hundreds of thousands of people attend courses that have limited value because of their distance from the action. It may be unpopular to say this, but leadership training anywhere apart from the place it is going to be applied, will be wasted. Sales training that takes place in a classroom or a training room is likewise ineffective.
Leadership training should comprise the understanding of the principle and then going to apply it in the workplace. Evaluating the feedback with the leadership coach. If necessary, this should happen on several occasions with that single principle until the learner has clearly learned how to apply it. Anything less than this, is a huge disservice to the people trying to learn leadership. Unless there is a complete revolution in the way that we train leaders, we will be constantly short of people who are effective in this role.
