Leadership Training Courses Don't Work

BRADFORD ON AVON, England, February 17, 2010 - You may think this is an odd claim, given that it is made by
Think Training & Development Limited, a company that specialises in
Leadership Training (www.thinktd.co.uk/leadership-programmes.html) but
picture the scene…

Your company is not doing as well as it could. Your people need some
direction; some motivation. And you're the person to deliver it. If only you
knew how.

You need some help, so you book yourself on to an expensive Leadership
Training (www.thinktd.co.uk/leadership-programmes.html ) Course.

You enter the second rate hotel where the event is being held and a name
sticker is slapped on to your lapel. You check out who else is on the course
but there is no-one from your particular industry. You're given a big, shiny
manual that is mostly full of blank pages for you to make notes, although, to
be fair, it's peppered periodically with mysterious acronyms to help you
remember how to be a captain of industry.

Then, best of all, you get to learn how to lead from the front from a guy
who has never been out of the classroom long enough to know where the front
is. You spend the rest of the day pondering the potential risks of death by
PowerPoint and the journey home removing bits of glue from your suit where
your name sticker has been.

You return to work to find your sales figures are down, your
marketing team has gone AWOL and Sally from accounts is in your office,
crying because her husband has left her.

You hurriedly leaf through your new manual to help you, but all you can
see are unfathomable graphs and the Christmas shopping list you wrote while
one of the other delegates was asking an interminably long and irrelevant
question…

It may not surprise you to learn that Think Training & Development
(www.thinktd.co.uk ) does not run open, generic Leadership Training
(www.thinktd.co.uk/leadership-programmes.html ) courses. Their
trainers do not deal in 'ideal world' theory, nor do they issue glossy
manuals that are destined to gather dust on your office shelf.

Think comes to you. You do not go to them. They might not be the most
conventional of corporate trainers, but they'll immerse themselves in your
world to understand your particular company's challenges. Their Leadership
Training is practical, energising and tailored to your people. And they get
results.

In short - they're a bit like the A-Team… except they don't carry guns
and they do accept payment.
