eLearning In Leadership Training And Development: Out Of The Xbox, Into The Office

Boredom is a killer. It’s a serial killer. Boredom’s gang includes other criminal elements such as Apathy, Cynicism, and Resignation. Victims include Enthusiasm, Innovation, and Creativity. And one of the greatest casualties is Leadership. Boredom afflicts many training programs today. Mostly, we’re either too nice (or too scared) to speak up. And typically, that which goes unspoken goes unnoticed and unchanged. So we invite you to ask yourself a potentially uncomfortable question: When it comes to training and development of your leaders, are your learners engaged and interested? Or are they bored?

The Power Of Communication: Success Starts With C

Yes! You are reading it absolutely correct. And C here stands for communication. Like about million times we have heard how important is communication in both the personal and professional field. The way you speak holds colossal power. It has power to tap new opportunities, or to shut the open doors; the power to build trust, and the power to ruin it; the power to generate new action, and the power to fail it. Be it leadership or life, we often become victims to vague expressions, jargon, off-color jokes, edgy tone etc.

Differentiating Leadership Development - Design Recommendations for Leadership Development

Executive leadership development shares similarities with other learning programs. For example, it must direct itself to the specific needs of its audience, and learner reflection is important to increase retention for on-the-job application.
