Management training sometimes is resisted by the very people who need training most. Some executives, managers or lower level employees don’t like anything that smacks of “school.”
Some may be insulted by the notion they need to be taught, instructed or coached in their jobs. Some may feel they already have learned what they need to know.
Some may feel training takes too much time away from their jobs. And some may feel management training is bound to be dull.
For all these reasons, a successful management training program must be effective, interesting, enjoyable, meaningful and memorable.
Management training must be effective not only in teaching business, but in appearing to teach business. Participants must see that they have learned something of value. Participants leave Capstone ® and Foundation ® sessions knowing they have learned a great deal.
Management training must be interesting. Do not assume that just because you are talking and writing, the participants are listening and reading. The hands-on nature of Capstone ® and Foundation® make these sessions interesting to all employee levels.
Management training must be enjoyable. Competition, teamwork and the thrill of winning make Capstone ® and Foundation ® seminars the most enjoyable training exercises you ever will run. Participants invariably describe them in glowing terms.
Management training must be meaningful. Employees don’t like learning about esoteric theories that may sound scientific, but don’t have obvious significance to the employees’ situations. Managers and executives like realism. They like to feel, “I can do something with what I’ve learned. This wasn’t a waste of time.”
Management training must be memorable. Did you go to an educational seminar last year? Do you remember what you learned? Capstone® and Foundation ® provide unforgettable experiences, simply because they are experiences, not just sessions.
In short, the Capstone® and Foundation® simulations provide the ultimate management training experience. Please contact us to receive free sample materials.
