Tell them what to do and they, Will surprise you with their intergrity -Gen Patton Conclusion This lesson has given exposure towards the Need and Signifi- cance of training and development in Industry and Trade.
Training is a tool which solve many problems. Coming lesson will give exposure towards training. Now think, discuss and write your conclusion about following: 16 1. What is employee training? Explain the important techniques of training. Discuss how the group discussion can be treated to be a helpful method of employee training.
What are the various tangible benefits of training in Indian organizations. Notes - 17 Friends, After reading this lesson you will be able to 1. Know what training manual is.
Explain Crucial contents of Training manual 3. Design Training Manual 4. Prepare training budget Training manual of any organization consists of following information about training. Training Policy Policy is a written Statement expressing companys vision mission regarding training.
Policy is guideline for action. A Training policy includes training needs identification process, Training budget, people to be trained and areas of training, types of training, responsibility for training. Training policy should be in align with Business strategies in past few years. The objectives of the strategies are only divided on the basis of cost justifications or viability aspect of the activities jn terms of resources.
Though the return on investment of Human Resources Development is still controversial in view of time variable in achieving desired change and effectiveness in the employees, management does want some portion of the cost format and its return patterm to decide how much to be invested and what will be the benefits to the organisation in terms of rupees or increase in profitability or reduction in wastage etc. Otherwise it may jeopardize the entire organisation.
No doubt, HRD is the key area in bringing out excellence in organisation and in fact this has been observed in sixth and seventh five year plans also as this costs to the organisation, it should be viewed carefully in relation to the organisations size, turn over, total budget and the percentage or part of budget used for HRD.
All the cost is assigned to HRD department who has to record and control it. Though both the methods may have the same results; the method used may greatly influence the decisions making process. Further the computer has made it more easy to coordinate one function to another and easily compute the performance or the comparison etc.
The types of training can be categorized in following ways as per the prevailing practice in industry: Based on Technology Technical training Non technical soft skills training Based on type of employee For Skilled staff For Semi Skilled staff For Unskilled employees staff Based on employee life cycle Induction Training In process Training Value Added Training All these types of training will be discussed with you in detail in the next lesson.
It is rare to use all of these aspects in determining training needs - select the ones which are most appropriate to your own situation, the divers which will produce the most productive and cost-effective results, in terms of business performance and people-develop- ment: Examples of Training Drivers Customer satisfaction surveys Business performance statistics and reports. Financial reports and ratios. Competitor analysis and comparision, eg SWOT analysis.
Management feedback on employee needs, including from appraisals. Training audits, staff assessment centres. Staff feedback on training needs. Director-driven policy and strategic priorities. Legislative pressures. Relevant qualification and certification programmes. Use the results and indicators from the chosen driver s to produce prioritised training needs per staff type, which will logically enable staff and management to achieve improvements required required by the organization.
Policy Definition: Policies provide the framework within which the decision-makers are expected to operate while making decisions relating to the organisation. They are a guide to the thinking and action of sub-ordinates for the purpose of achieving the objectives of the business successfully.
According to George R Terry-Policy is a verbal, written or implied overall guide setting up boundaries that supply the general limits and directions in which managerial actions will take place.
Further, according to Koontz and 0 Donnell Policies were identified as guides to thinking in decision-making. They assume that when decisions are made, these will fall within certain boundaries.
From these two definitions it is clear that policies are a guide to thinking and action of those who have to make decisions. They also lay down the limits within which decisions have to be made for accomplishing the enterprise objectives. They are the basis for executive operation and provide ready answers to all questions faced in running the enterprise.
Some of the example of policies are an enterprise may follow a policy of selling its products only on cash basis or may adopt a policy of employing only local people or may have a policy not to employ any person over sixty years of age. Characteristics of a Good Policy The characteristics of a good policy are: a. Policy should help in achieving the enterprises objectives. It should provide only a broad outline and leaves scope to subordinates for interoretation so that their intiatives is not hampered.
Policy should not be mutually contradictory and there should not be inconsistency between any two policies, which may result in confusion and delay in action. They should be sound, logical, flexible and should provide guide for thinking in future planning and action.
Further, they should provide limits within which decisions have to be made. Policies should reflect internal and external business environment. Policies should be in writing and the language of the policies should be intelligent to the persons who are supposed to implement them and to those who are to be affected by them. Policy may originate at any level such as division level, department level, section level,etc. A manager may formulate policies within the limits of his authority and also within the limits of the policy laid down by his superiors.
Policy starts with description of subject matter it covers, so that there may be common understanding of the policy among those who are to implement it. Policy must be reviewed periodically and modified according to the changed circumstances. It may be replaced by a new policy. Periodical review of the policy makes it more adaptable and acceptable. Nature of Policy 1. The next step is formulation of policies and strategies. Policies prescribe the most desirable ways and demand for the accomplishment of a given objective.
They may be described as plans to serve as broad guides to decision-making in a firm. It is a Continuing Decision-A policy is a continuing decision. It remains in force and provides the answer to problems of recurring nature till it is changed. For Example-If it is the policy to management to fill vacancies in the organisation from within, departmental heads need not consult or take approval of the top executive again and again.
It is a Dynamic Plan-There may be so many ways to reach the end point and the management chooses only one along which the managers and sub-ordinates are expected to move to reach the goals of the enterprise.
Policy is not rigid like role. It has room for discretion on the part of those who are to be guided by them. It may be changed at anytime and replaced by a new policy at the particular level in the organisation at which it was originally framed. Kinds or Types or Classification of Policies Policies may be of different types. Originated Policies-These policies are formulated by top managers.
They till sub-ordinates how to act in a given situation and these policies have the support of organisational authorities and the subordinates can be asked to follow them strictly. Thus, they are basic policies. Appealed Policy-If on any matter, the sub-ordinate is not clear and has a doubt about his authority to handle a situation and if that subject-matter is not already covered by the existing policies, he may refer the matter for his superiors verdict.
Superiors verdict generates appealed policy and thus becomes a guide for future action of the subordinates. External or Imposed Policy-Sometimes outside agencies like Government, trade associations, trade union etc.
For Example-If the government imposes a condition on the enterprises to reserve a certain percentage of jobs for the backward sections of society or for the persons within the state.
Functional Policies-Policies which are formulated for various functional areas of management are known as functional policies. They are- i. Financial Policies; ii. Production Policy; iii. Marketing Policy; iv. Personnel Policy. Policies on the Basis of Levels-Policies formulated on this basis may be basic policies meant to be used by top managers, general policies meant to be used normally by middle managers and departmental policies meant to be used by the departmental managers or group leaders etc.
Formulation of Policies The formulation of policies takes place at various organisational levels. Some basic and important policies are developed by the top management while some are developed at middle level, management level. Following are some important consider- ations which should be taken into consideration while formulating the various policies: 1. Policies should be based on facts and not on guess work or intuition 2 To ensure successful implementation of policy, joint participation in policy-making should be encouraged.
It means before formulating policies top manager in the organisation must consult the persons who are likely to be affected by them and are supposed to implement them. It should be broad, general and basic not specific because they are guide to thinking and action.
They should not lay down the detailed procedure of doing activities. It must reflect the internal and external business environment. There must be an element of stability in them. It does not however, mean that they must not be changed. If there is a change in conditions on which these policies were based. Rigidities should be avoided to make policies realistic. Policies should be in writing and the language of the policies should be intelligible to those who are supposed to implement them.
Different policies in the organisation should support one another. The must be in conformity with and not conflict with one another. Policies should have general social objectives. They must not be detrimental to the interest of society, otherwise their implementation would be difficult. Policies should be taught.
Organisation members must understand them. Policies become meaningless if they are not endorsed by the person who are to be affected by them Factors Influencing Policy Determination There are internal and external factors which influence the policy determination and they are as follows: A.
The Internal Factors 1. The Organisational Goals and Strategies: policies must be consistent with and contribute to organisational goals and strategies. Infact, policies are meant to operationalise and implement organisational goals and strategies.
Managerial Values: organisational policies are influenced to a great extent by the way in which managers perceive realities as also managerial reliefs of what is good and what is not. Managers, are considered as prime movers of organisations half their own systems of personal values for example honesty and truth in advertising perceptions and preferences.
Organisational Resources: this resources, like finance, manpower, physical equipment and so on determine the capabilities and constraints of the organisation and they provide a basis for determination of policies. For Example- A competent managerial team is able to formulate a bold and dynamic set of policies and cut through obstacles in their implementation.
Organisational Structure: it provides the basis for all managerial process including policy determination, by delimiting activities and authority roles and relationships and by providing needed staff support for exploration and development of policy options. Organisational Politics: it has been seen that human organisation cannot escape from being affected to some extent from internal power, dynamics and politics, rivalry for authority, status, influence, scarce resources, as also personality clashes, vested interests, jealousies and so on.
Policy determination in organisation is also a political process 21 of sub-optimisation, compromises tight-rope walking and so on. External Factors 1. Socio-Political Factors: several groups in society are directly and indirectly interested in and affected by the functioning of organisations. They tend to exert some influence directly and through their representatives in government on organisations in their policy determination.
For Example Groups which advocate environmental safety, may pressurize manufacturing enterprises. Government may bring in legislation to ensure product, safety and quality. Product Market Factors: every organisation,whether business or non-business, has something to offer to society and has its own own clientele group of users. The policies determined by the individual organisation have to reflect the needs and expectations of its clientele group as also the conditions and behaviour of the product-market environment.
For example-In the case of a business enterprise, the characteristics of its product market nature of demand and competition. Resource Market Factors: organisations draw their input requirements from society and the external environment. Therefore, the nature and behaviour of markets for the organisations resources tend to behave an unmistakable influence on policy determination, for example, personnel policy, financial policy, purchase policy and so on.
Within a very short period of time this hotel became number one hotel company in the private sector, because he followed and adopted the growth strategy and following policies.
Locational policies: the locational policy suggests that hotels should be located in the busy area of the city. But the hotel located in the busy part of the city may involve higher limited costs and will be beneficial from long-term point of view. Further its policy should be to construct or acquire hotels of having rooms within the range of to Foods and Beverages: it should be the policy of the hotel company to serve foods and beverages of high quality with right blending.
Its basic policy should be to keep or to attach at least one foreign cook or chef to each hotel to cater needs of foreign tourists. Servicing: as we are aware that hotel is a service industry therefore, the company should adopt the service of personalised service. Every person who comes to the hotel be treated as the guest of the hotel. It is essential that an attempt be made to develop sense of belongingness among the customer by emphasising the concept of Our Hotel instead of my hotel 4.
Policy regarding room charges: it should be the policy of the company to keep the room rent high in which 70 to 80 percent rooms should be let out at lower price and the remaining to individuals be at higher prices.
Financing: it should be the policy of the company to do business without involving financial institutions. The right thing will be to work first with its own money and them to get public money in the form of deposits and debentures.
In order to avoid interest burden the policy should be to collect dues if any at a faster rate and paying the outstanding if any. Personnel: selection of Personnel: The company should form a policy of selecting the best available personnel and training and developing them into the best suitable way.
Therefore, the selection procedure of the company should be rigorous and in training, the person must be taught tricks of the trade; and the right type of attitude may be inculcated in the person towards the business to make it popular and profitable.
Employee will have to go through 2 weeks of Induction program after joining. Appraisals will be done 6 monthly and Head of department will be responsible for appraisees performance and Identification of training needs 7. The company must adopt the policy of decentralisation and delegation: as the hotel in headed by a general manager who enjoys various authorities including the financial authority, each Hotel is considered as an independent unit and the general manager can make any decision within the overall framework of the hotel management and hotel rules and laws.
Each hotel manager is delegated with the authority to spend 5 to 7 percent of revenue from his hotel over the essential expenditure of the hotel. To keep hotel neat, clean, tidy and attractive. This is caused simply by the different aims of the departments, and needs understanding and cooperation on both sides in order to achieve successful training needs assess- ment, training design, planning, delivery and optimal take-up and implementation. Reproduce visuals, and provide space to take notes Difficult to copy a visual and absorb key messages.
Reproduce visual image on paper Trainees can have more time to listen and to take notes Intro Everyone knows a presenter has to dress to conduct a class. And why? The appearance of presentation materials is important as well Computers, color monitors, high-quality laser printers Documents that were considered acceptable several years ago. Here are some ways 10 training professionals can enhance the look of their handouts and their own image at the same time. Use charts and graphs to reinforce key messages Graphics improve the comprehension of underlying principles and maintain a viewers interest.
Modern word-processing programs support most common business graphics. Bar charts Pie charts More detailed line drawings and photos images can be imported Example: Service and operations manuals 23 3. Design training materials to be convenient reference tools Important that the manuals organization and indexing method are easy to look up specific subjects.
Most training materials will be used for subsequent reference beside during the course 4. Use color to accelerate learning Color is the ideal companion to all training materials. Intelligent way of using color can achieve all benefits at an affordable, incremental cost. Example: printing chapter headings in a color. Or highlight key sentences in a single color so viewers can easily find the key points. Customize content as much as possible Each training manual should contain materials specific to the topic or employees responsibilities.
Modem network printing options make it possible to generate high-quality materials in extremely small quantities With todays desktop PC make it fast and easy to cut and paste content electronically Remember in the case of training materials, bigger is not better! Put the recipients name on the cover Put Attendees name on the cover of a manual or booklet Make attendee value and use the manual more.
Send messages that the company views each participant as an individual. Personalized approach is especially important for middle and upper level managers.
Develop a guide for presenters A separate guide for facilitators provides helpful prompts and ensures that all presenters use a consistent approach. Facilitator guide should occupy two-thirds of the page with visuals. Remaining third lists prompts and key messages to accompany each visual Participant workbook is created from the facilitator guide bye eliminating the prompts to allow space for notes.
Make manual covers distinctive Many employees have several manuals on their desk. The cover and spine marking should quickly distinguish the content of each manual Example: Home depot, cover designs and color-coded spine markings distinguish one type of manual from another.
Choose a binding method thats durable and convenient Companies are switching from three-ring binders to spiral binding for smaller booklets. Participants say.. Spiral-bound books are lighter and easier to use.
Large manuals binders are still the favorite choice because they last longer. Make sure your supplier can accommodate last-minute changes Digital printing systems let presenters make changes to materials up to a day or hours before a class is held Allowing a week for production is no longer necessary. In general, suppliers should be able to support one or two- day turnaround on routine jobs 25 Conclusion Successful trainers use modern technology like the digital printing systems to improve the content and appearance of training materials.
By putting in a few more dollars, a company can earn respect of internal and external customers by having a professional manuals and handouts.
Activity and Assignments 1. Explain various types of training. What is Training Manual. The Company undergoing expansion plans.
And going to employ about employees in near future. What are various styles of learning What is the process of learning. What are various theories of learning. What are principles of learning. And how learning can be made more effective. And hence you will be able to apply the above for live training session.
Introduction Before we discuss about learning and learning styles let us first understand how does knowledge of learning going to effect the training. By the end of this session you will be able to apply the concept of learning for training. What is Learning? Learning has been defined as a relatively permanent change in behavioral potentiality that occurs as a result of reinforced practice.
The following elaborates on this basic definition: Learning is indexed by a change in behavior, which must be translated into observable behavior. After learning, learners are capable of performing something that they could not do before the learning experience. This change is relatively permanent, it is neither transitory nor fixed. The change in behavior need not occur immediately following the learning experience. Although there may be a potential to act differently, this potential may not be translated into a new behavior immediately.
The change in behavior results from experience or practice. The experience or practice must be reinforced. Learning a subject seems to involve three almost simultaneous processes: First, there is acquisition of new information - often information that runs counter to or is a replacement for what the person has previously known. A second aspect of learning may be called transformation - the process of manipulating knowledge to make it fit new tasks.
Transformation comprises the ways we deal with information in order to go beyond it. A third aspect of learning is evaluation - checking whether the way we have manipulated information is adequate to the task. Also, there is more than one type of learning. A committee of colleges and universities studied learning behaviors and broke learning into three main domains or Taxonomies.
Knowing the type of knowledge, skill, or attitude that is discussed in the taxonomy will assist you in determining the instructional strategy. Learning Styles Just as every person is unique, so is every learner.
But how much this uniqueness matters has been a great debate among educators, trainers, and psychologists. A learning style is a students consistent way of responding to and using stimuli in the context of learning. Some say that each student learns best using a learning strategy or method that best matches his or her need.
While others say that what matters the most is the learning process, not the style. The research tends to favor the latter group. Achieving a solid learning environment that meets the students need, rather than their styles seems to be the most important key for effective learning.
The Learning Process While learning styles show that we are all different, the learning process shows how and why we learn something. This, perhaps, is even more important than addressing the various learning styles.
Although people have a preferred style, they can still learn under almost any style. While various learning styles can make it easier or harder for a person to master a subject, if the learning process is not in place, it makes that subject almost unachievable. Choose Delivery System The instructional and support material that will provide the most effective learning stimulus are specified in this step.
Care should be taken not to select materials just because they are available. For example, there are probably several hundred VCR instructional tapes floating around that were developed, not because it was the best media for the instruction to be pre- sented, but because a camera and VCR were readily available.
The purpose in this step is not to show your mastery of the latest whiz-bang technology, but to select media that will best magnify the learning process. When determining the media best suited to train the objective consider: The instructional setting: What type of setting is required? Is it up to date or does it have to be modified? If the instructors and learners have to travel to the sight, what materials must they bring?
Media characteristics: What is the best media for this type of instruction? How must the media be obtained? Must we produce it?
If so, do we have the technical expertise? Instructional material: Can it be developed within the proposed budget? What are the constraining factors for producing this material? Will the technology likely change before the proposed training material can be produced? When and how many learners must be trained by a given time? Is there more than one group to be trained and how closely will each group follow? Instructors: Are they qualified for this type of instruction?
Must a Train The Trainer class be given to bring the instructors up to par? How long will it take to bring them up to par? How many instructors are available for this instruction? Each type of instructional material has certain points to consider: Job Performance Aid: Do people just need simple reminders or a list of steps for performing a task? Technical manual: Is the manual already available? If so, must additional material be developed to enhance the manual for instructional purposes?
Decals: How big? What color? Where exactly must they be placed? Must briefings be given about the decal? Flowcharts and schematics: Should these be decals? Where must they be placed so that people will use them? Self Teaching Package: Are books and manuals available?
Are they geared to the students educational level? Are the workers motivated to learn on their own? Programmed text: At what level must it be? Is additional instruction needed? Multimedia computer programs: This type of instruction takes a great deal of time and resources to develop. What must be done to complete it in time and within budget? After it is developed, for how long of a time period will it be valid?
Computer Aided Instruction: Do we have the authoring tools available? Do we have training specialist who can develop the instruction with the authoring tools or must they be instructed in the new media?
Personalized Instruction: Are coaches readily available to aid the learners. What goals need to be established and how will the learners obtain them? On-The-Job Training: Are the supervisors ready to take on the task of providing training and coaching? Must they be instructed in On-The-Job learning packages?
Do they have the time? Are trainers needed for this type of training? If so, what will be their role? Resident Instruction: in-house: Do we have instructors who can perform this type of training? Contract Training: Will it be given at our location or a separate location? What sort of time frame is involved? Lockstep or self pace: Self pace is generally consider better in most cases because it allows each learner to proceed at her or his own pace, but it is more difficult to manage than lockstep and usually requires more instructors because of the wide range of variables that take place within the learning environment.
Develop Instruction Only after all the preplanning has been accomplished, is it time to start developing the instructional material. Developing different forms of courseware requires a certain about of skill and art. Synthesize When developing the training material and media, ensure that it is synthesized into an integrated program. It should flow as naturally as possible, with each lesson block building the foundation for the next one.
Provide variety that is conductive to learning. Break practice periods up with instructional periods, rather than having all the instruction in the beginning followed by nothing but practice. Time will have to be consider when synthesizing the complete learning program.
For example, if you have five, 3 hour blocks of instruction, how do you break them down to run smoothly in two days? Which one gets chopped to two hours one day and one hour the next day.
Will it have an effect on learning? Must the blocks run in order or can you switch them so the least difficult block gets broken apart.
Will it be better to break the most difficult one apart so the learners get a respite from the toils of hard learning? Since most workdays are eight hours and your program totals 15 hours, what should be done with the one additional hour that will best benefit the organization? In the U. Army Artillery there is a firing method known as the bracketing process. Fire and adjust! This process is continued until there is fire for effect, and then adjusted again until the target is hit!
Developing effective courseware is the same. Train and adjust! Continue with the SAT process until the training is no longer needed or until the training courseware is the best piece of training material produced and then some!
Validate Instruction The last step is to validate the material by using representative samples of the target population and then revising the program as needed.
The heart of the systems approach to training is revising and validating the instructional material until the learners meet the planned learning objectives. Also, it should not be thought of as a single shot affair.
Success or failure is not measured at a single point. The initial validation will depend upon the complexity of the training material and your resources. Listed below is a procedure that provides an effective validation of a large training program. Adjust it as needed to fit the size and complexity of your program, but keep in mind that the closer your validation follows this one, the less problems you will encounter during your training.
Select the participants that will be in the trials. The participants should be randomly selected, but they must represent all strata of the target population, bright, average, and slow learners. They should be clearly told what their roles are in the validation process are. Let them know that they are helping to develop and improve the lessons and that they should feel free to tell you what they think about it. The participants should be pretested to ensure that the students learn from the instructional material and not from past experience.
This trial is performed on one learner at a time. The instruction is presented to the learner. The separate pieces of instructions, tests, practice periods, etc.
Do not tutor unless the learner cannot understand the directions. Whenever you help or observe the learner having difficulty with the material, document it. Revise instruction. Using the documents from the individual trials, revise the material as needed.
Closely go over any evalua- tions that were administered. A large number of wrong answers for an item indicates a trouble area. Conversely, a large number of correct answers for an item could indicate the learners already knew the material, the test items were too easy, or the lessons over taught the material. Repeat individual trials until the lesson does what it is sup- posed to do.
There is no magical number for individual trials. From three to five times seems to be the usual number. Also, if you are trialing a large course, you might only need to trial specific troublesome areas of the course, rather than the whole course itself. Conduct group trial. After you are satisfied with the results of the individual tryouts, move on to the group tryouts. These can be of any size. It may consist of several small groups, one large group, or a combination of both.
The procedure is the same as the individual tryouts except for one difference. At some point in the trials you must determine if the program needs to be accepted or if it needs major revision.
Usually a minimum of two successful tryouts are conducted to ensure the program teaches. Minor problems should not hold up implementing the program. As was stated earlier in this section, revisions do not stop upon the first implementation of the program, but are performed throughout the life of the program Learning Styles Or, How We Go From the Unknown to the Known A learning style is a students consistent way of responding to and using stimuli in the context of learning.
There are various instruments used to determine a students learning style. The first style to be discussed is VAK Visual, Auditory, Kines- thetic , which is derived from the accelerated learning world, and seems to be about the most popular model nowadays. Its main strength is that it is quite simple, which appeals to a lot of people. Its main weakness, is that the research does not really support it.
Kolbs learning inventory describes a learning process and a style, which makes it quite interesting. It can be thought of as a simpler version of the MBTI which is based upon determining the personality type. Kolbs version uses two dimensions, while the MBTI uses two similar dimensions, plus two additional ones. Howard Gardners Multiple Intelligences seems to provide the most promising outlook for diversifying learning. Warning: These various learning styles or intelligences are points along a scale that help us to discover the different forms of mental representation; they are not good characterizations of what people are or are not like.
We should not divide the population into a set category e. Just as a belt is the center point of our body, so is the Word of God the center point of our lives. All truth flows and knowledge flows from God's Word that brings life. No matter how open your heart is to God, when we act in righteous ways, we wear an armor that protects us from getting hurt. It makes all darts against us bounce off.
If we are ready and willing, we can't be stopped. There is resolution in the face of trials. Put on readiness so you may grow and go according to Christ's purpose. When we believe in what we cannot see, the troubles we can see don't deter us in the moment - we walk with a higher mission. We can cover our head with the protective helmet of eternal salvation. Our mind can rest secure under it because we have eternal standing that can never be removed. This means we worship with hands raised and one eye open.
We share discerning if we may be throwing our valuable pearls to the swine. Otherwise, we walk with our heads in the clouds, ready to be hacked right back down to earth. Let's get up, wise up and start plugging in to God's protective armor. They retreat from coming forward with creative ideas. When it comes time to execute, the fearful organization cowers from trying anything new, making change much slower, if not impossible.
Meetings were orchestrated with precision, her diary managed tightly, and the people she interacted with carefully chosen. She found herself excluded from creative discussions, as others discounted her ability to explore beyond her purview.
Maintaining this level of control was exhausting for her and everyone who supported her and took its toll on her health. Returning to work after a long illness, she found that her direct reports had performed well in her absence. This led her to reexamine where she could release control and explore better uses of her time.
While every leader faces a crisis of confidence at some point, some leaders live with a paralyzing sense of self-doubt. They worry about what others think of them and anxiously expect to fall short.
Many find ways of masking these deeper feelings with a confident game face and measured demeanor. Some are overly accommodating and nice. By purchasing the regard of others with benevolence, they reduce their deeper fears of failure and rejection. These leaders have a particularly noxious effect on strategy. They often refer to past failures as the basis of their risk concerns, no matter how long ago they took place or how much has been learned since.
They interpreted it for what it really was: an insatiable need for approval and affirmation. Her insecurities led to numerous market launch delays and unclear brand messaging. Fortunately, Ron was able to help her get to the root of her fears and pivot, regaining some lost ground. If you suffer from an anxious sense of self-doubt, here are some ways to reduce their impact on strategy:. All leaders arrive with some blemishes on their personalities.
