I’ve been fortunate enough to work in a management capacity at various levels for the last 20 years. One thing that rings true is the constant need for training, whether to acquire new and relevant skills for the ever changing world around us, or simple to stay on your toes. Below are 5 Reasons Experienced Managers Need Regular Refresher Training.
Relevance
The world around us is changing by the day and it will only become more rapid as time goes on. Keeping leaders up to par with changes in your industry and the world overall, as it relates to the business, will impact everything. Otherwise, decisions not in favor of what people want and need will quickly move any company to a less than favorable position. We’ve seen many examples over the years such as Kmart, Block Buster Video, and the list goes on.
Value
The value of any company boils down to their workforce. Keeping managers clear on their objective and putting effective training measures in place will ensure that your company doesn’t lose value or credibility.
Culture
A company can never achieve greatness if they don’t have a productive culture in place. A company’s culture determines how your leaders respond to things. Whether that thing is an internal issue or client fallout, a company’s culture will provide the navigation required to deal with inevitable roadblocks.
