How To Organize A Successful Leadership Development Training Program

By Virginia Green


Corporate managers and business people who are entitled to leadership have to undergo refresher courses after some time to enhance productivity. Such trainings are usually organized once in a year where people from different parts meet for a week or so to learn new management tricks and share ideas with their colleagues. However, the event cannot be successful if the hosts never organized for it properly. Following are interesting ideas on how you can organize for leadership development training.

All workshops must have a theme and each year attracts a different topic. However, before you come up with the theme, you need to identify the pressing challenges that business and corporate leaders are going through. As such, the invited leaders will be glad to attend the training to learn how they can handle the upcoming challenges both in marketing and production.

Having established your theme, ensure to source for experts who are conversant with topics that relate to the subject. These professionals are difficult to find, and earlier consultations should be made before printing out the theme. Also, you have to discuss their fees and number of hours that they shall facilitate so that if you are not comfortable, you can look for a replacement.

The next step is to identify the venue where these trainings will be held. The exercise cannot be held in the same place more than once. Most of these leaders enjoy the trainings and being exposed to new environments will trigger their interests to participate. Find a venue that the entire participant would be happy to attend. However, you have to be conscious about its charges.

Although training is not part of the business, it takes money to make them happen. Therefore, a reasonable fee should be indicated in the invitation letters so as the members can prepare themselves financially. When calculating the fee, ensure that you will not be left footing for other bills that were forgotten. Moreover, ask the interested participants to make payments to a set account two weeks before the coaching for proper preparations.

Prepare well-detailed invitation letters that will be manually and electronically delivered to the targeted organizations. Emails are the fastest means of making contact with a company management where letters make the invitation official. In these letters, ensure that details about contacts, venue, and directions are clear. As such, the participants will not encounter navigation difficulties.

A few days before the training is scheduled to start, start organizing everything in place. Table arrangement in the conference hall, boarding facilities, and catering services should be ready and arranged properly. Hygiene and level of comfort should be your top priority and concern.

Video machines, speakers, microphones, and projectors are important items that are part of a training session. Find these devices by either buying or hiring them from a reliable supplier. The right supplier should have a backup system in case there is electricity shortage, or the machines stops working. Considering that you are not taking the coaching for once you need to treat the participants with care for them to attend it again.
