Train to Ingrain

 

The Holy Grail: In Your Grasp   Programs that actually improve the way leaders lead—permanently… this is the Holy Grail of training and development. Imagine this:   Management concludes that inadequate first-line leadership is keeping the organization from achieving its goals…feedback assessments identify specific shortfalls…trainers set up programs to address the deficiencies…supervisors participate in the programs and are introduced to new skills…back on the job, their managers coach them to apply these skills…as the learners begin applying the new skills in the workplace, they find support and encouragement…they learn from their initial efforts and persist…after several months of continued learning, coaching and feedback, applying the new skills gets easier…months later, new work habits have been ingrained, line leadership is more effective and teams are achieving their goals…this causes specific business indicators to improve…which has a positive impact on the bottom line.   This scenario can be more than wishful thinking. You can actually make it happen in your organization.   The first step is to get the information you need. Since you’re reading this now, you’ve already started! And you’ll find that our website has a lot more information.   Next, talk to a TRAIN TO INGRAIN consultant at 888-762-9699.   Or you may contact any of the consulting firms directly by clicking on their links in the left sidebar. Feel free to browse their websites and contact any of them that seem compatible with your needs. All are top-flight professionals who will ask about your organization, outline what’s possible, and suggest a customized TRAIN TO INGRAIN process designed to achieve your goals.   Another logical next step is to share this information with your senior managers. After you’ve secured their commitment to move forward, you’ll want to acquire the core technologies that empower TRAIN TO INGRAIN: the versatile 2020 Insight GOLD feedback assessment system and Vital Learning’s behavior-based Supervision Series curriculum. ALD can help you identify the aspects of your organization that currently support the TRAIN TO INGRAIN process. They can also help you introduce the additional resources or procedures your organization needs to ensure success.   Once managers are prepared to support the process, you can implement assessment and development programs, with or without the help of your consultant. Once in place, reinforcement programs for continued learning, ongoing feedback, coaching and accountability typically run themselves.   ALD can get you started and give you expert support during all five phases of TRAIN TO INGRAIN: Commitment Assessment Training Reinforcement Integration The Holy Grail is within your grasp!   - Dennis Coates, Ph.D, CEO, Performance Support Systems, publisher of 20/20 Insight GOLD assessment software
