Why Training Fails
Summary
Training programs often struggle to deliver results. Here’s why and how to improve them.Key Issues with Training Programs
1) Leadership Involvement
In many workshops, participants often wonder why their managers aren't present. For instance, in my Effective Meetings workshop, I frequently hear, "Where's my boss?" This highlights a major issue: without management buy-in, the training's impact diminishes. When leaders don't support or participate, team members may dismiss the training as irrelevant. Consequently, companies might abandon training altogether. To ensure success, it's crucial to involve top executives in planning and attending sessions, ensuring they truly support the initiative.
Key Point: Secure management support before launching any training program.
2) Individual Responsibility
Each person is responsible for their actions and decisions. Even if leadership fails to implement effective practices, individuals can still apply what they've learned. A participant mastering effective meetings might even outperform a non-supportive boss. There are two crucial components to learning: acquiring new skills and deciding to use them.
Key Point: You can lead effectively, even in a challenging environment.
3) Authentic Expertise
I once received a frantic call from a colleague preparing for a workshop without adequate expertise. This highlights another issue: training should be delivered by genuine experts, not just by those who read about the topic. Many organizations hire trainers who base programs on secondhand knowledge. The best trainers are those who have deep, firsthand experience and can provide real insights, answer questions authentically, and address participants’ needs effectively.
Key Point: Choose trainers who genuinely embody the subject, not those who merely skimmed a book.
Conclusion
For training programs to succeed, they must be supported by leadership, embraced by individuals committed to improvement, and delivered by true experts. When these elements align, training can genuinely facilitate growth and development.You can find the original non-AI version of this article here: Why Training Fails.
