Re: Leadership & Management

Hi All,

How to design leadership and management courses for in-house? I need guidelines.

Thanks

Hello all,

Do you know how to develop leadership and management courses for in-house? I would appreciate it if you could shed some light on or share how to develop such courses.

Thank you.

Hi Joan,

One of the first things you would need to look at is whether the organization has a competency framework and what the essential competencies are for a particular level of employees. Most organizations these days base a lot of their training (leadership being a huge chunk) on the competency framework. In case the organization does not have one, the starting point would be to do an intervention to build the same.

Post that, the critical competencies thus identified can be a part of the Leadership Program. Anywhere between 3 days to a week of in-class as well as one-on-one coaching form part of leadership training programs.

If you wish to know more, I request you to drop in your email id, and if you have any further questions.

Regards,
Rohan

Hi John,

I normally clarify the following with your management first:

MANDATE
1. Should it lead to a qualification
2. Should it only create awareness
3. Should it have an impact on a specific business area (the way we manage our people, handle finance, handle production)
4. Is it a once-off or can you develop a series of solutions
5. Is it really important or just to "do something"

Once you have your mandate, you need to clarify:

DESIGN CRITERIA AND DELIVERY
1. Will employees be able to attend classroom training
2. Should it be on-the-job coaching
3. Should there be an assessment
4. Should you in-source or outsource

DESIGN PROCESS
1. Outcomes
2. Blended solutions to achieve the outcomes
3. Approval of your material

DELIVERY and MANAGEMENT TRACKING

Hope I assisted you in gaining some ideas.
