How To TRAIN Quality Leaders?



How often have you heard someone, like me, discuss the need for effective, professional, meaningful, leadership training? However, is this discussion usually predominantly full of generalities and platitudes, or does it go into the type of detail, in order to develop effective, meaningful programs, which will produce the type of leaders, which will optimize producing the type of real leaders, which will make your group more relevant and sustainable? Everyone would agree, it is important to develop great leaders, if you hope to assure, your organization might be the type, everyone hopes for, and seeks! Let's examine, using mnemonics, how we should TRAIN leaders.

1. Technique; touch; tendencies; teach; together:

The first thing a leader must realize, understand, and take to heart, is only when leaders and constituents work together, for the common good, can one create an organization which everyone can be proud of! An essential component in the training process, must be teaching and developing the quality of technique, and the necessary skills. This must be detailed, and in - depth! It must be a combination of personal touch, understanding, a well - developed gut, and a caring, uplifting attitude. One must be trained so thoroughly and comprehensively, that his natural, first tendencies, are those great leaders need!

2. Relevant; reliable; rationale; rational; reasoning; responsible:

You will never be a leader, if you don't proceed in a responsible, responsive manner! You must focus on relevant priorities and goals, and be able to analyze and differentiate the relevant, from the non - priorities! How will you learn to proceed in a reliable way, which you can depend upon? You'll only develop the leadership skills, when you fully realize and can explain your rationale, for doing things as you do! How can you be certain your reasoning is rational and responsible?

3. Attitude; aptitude; attention:

A positive, can - do attitude evolves over a period of time, and is developed and instilled, not inborn! Training must emphasize this mindset! Combining a positive attitude, with the skills, assets, and superior aptitude, make someone a greater leader! The final necessity in this equation is the ability and willingness, to pay keen attention, to details, and to contingencies and ramifications!

4. Integrity; ideals; ideas; imagination:

The one thing which one cannot train, is behaving with absolute integrity. However, a great trainer, can drum home how essential this quality is, and help direct people to be more introspectively objective, and examine their personal integrity! Ideals must be aligned with the mission of the group, so one must be trained to fully understand, all the group stands for, and its potential, etc. The better the training, the better one might be trained to develop and use his imagination, to bring forth ideas, which make a real difference!

5. Needs; niche; numbers:

Numbers matter, and a leader must understand these, as they relate to revenues, expenses, membership, etc. Each group has some unique qualities, and thus a leader must be trained to realize the niche and nuances, he must serve skillfully! Finally, leaders must learn to create action and strategic plans, based on needs, concerns and priorities!

This is the basis of developing the type of leadership, which potentially, might make a real, significant difference! The alternative, unfortunately, is often a dearth of meaningful leadership!

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
