Corporate Training: Are Managers Born or Made?

Managers with a growth mindset are more committed to their employees’ development, and to their own, according to Carol S. Dweck, author of “Mindset: The New Psychology of Success.” They give a great deal more developmental coaching, they notice improvement in employees’ performance, and they welcome critiques from their employees, she writes. “Most exciting, the growth mindset can be taught to managers.”

By Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D.

Millions of dollars and thousands of hours are spent each year trying to teach leaders and managers how to coach their employees and give them effective feedback. Yet much of this training is ineffective, and many leaders and mangers remain poor coaches. Is that because this can’t be trained? No, that’s not the reason. Research sheds light on why corporate training often fails.

Field Tips

Many employees claim they learn best while doing, so they prefer to dive right in and learn as they go when they get a new job or take on new responsibilities. But the most successful and quickest learning on the job takes place when there is a formal on-the-job training (OJT) program—a fact many organizations and managers fail to take into account.

Effective Leadership Coaching Starts with the Right Culture

Coaching for leadership is about creating an environment that, through its leadership, can achieve a high level of performance. It is not about job training, skills development, or getting a new certification. It is about helping a leader be a better motivator, mentor, and change leader.

By Michael Stewart, Managing Partner, Work Effects

One area of human resources that has grown considerably in recent years is leadership coaching. Coaching leaders isn’t about teaching a leader to do the things they already know how to do but just a bit better. It is about putting the ball in the hands of their teammates and guiding them to victory.

Coaching: What Are We Talking About?

Many of us are still unclear about what coaching is. The key is to clarify the notion of coaching in the organizational context and to assist the person responsible for coaching (human resources director, sales director, or manager) to identify the most appropriate form of coaching in the circumstances.

By Carole Trépanier, DBA, and Anne Mathieu, Ph.D.

We are presently in the midst of a full-scale coaching boom. According to recent research, books on the topic are being published at a rate of more than one a week and there now are more than 18,000 professional personal and business coaches registered as members of the International Coaching Federation compared to 11,000 in 2006 (http://www.coachfederation.org/about-icf/).

Remote Presentations: From Mediocre to Impactful

Remote presentations have their own unique challenges and advantages. When developed and delivered correctly, they become a great communication vehicle and transform a mediocre group of slides into a powerful remote experience. Here are some tips to make that happen.

By Sally Williamson

I confess. My relationship with remote presentations got off to a bad start. Five years ago, when I wrote my first article about Webinars, I shared my frustration and confusion that companies were using this new technology without understanding how to use it effectively.

Sure, you're a good presenter. Who would doubt it? After all, you didn't become vice-president by resting on your laurels, did you?
