Hello everyone!
This month I'm departing from my standard newsletter. I want you to be the first to receive a complimentary pre-press copy of my chapter from Extreme Excellence, which is due out next month. This book contains 12 interviews with performance consultants.
My chapter is entitled, "Improving Employee Engagement: Train to Ingrain," which you can download now as a PDF. In it, I discuss the connection between leadership training and employee engagement. I also point out that it is critical to design your training program as a process, not an event, if you want to optimize your ROI and ensure that learning sticks.
This chapter will be a great resource for you. It will help you create a solid business case to your executive management team as you prepare your training and development budget. You'll be able to demonstrate the rationale for how leadership training helps to improve your bottom line. You'll also be able to apply the current brain research in easy-to-understand terms to explain why behavioral change doesn't happen overnight. This research will help you to back up why additional dollars for reinforcement, practice and coaching activities are necessary for permanent behavioral change. |
