Newly-minted supervisors and managers look forward to leadership training. They also look forward to the resources for new leaders and supervisors that their employers make available to them. What if their employers don’t?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a huge step forward in anyone\u2019s career, to say the least.\u00a0 But on a trivial level, people love leadership training because it often entails going offsite for a few days.\u00a0 It\u2019s a multi-day hiatus that includes immersive sessions of reflection and orientation.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, this kind of training is reserved for individuals who already hold senior positions.\u00a0 The problem with this approach, however, is it fails to address the need to groom leaders at every level – before they assume roles as leaders.. Organizations that operate in increasingly complex environments are smart to develop leaders NOW \u2013 not when a position is suddenly left open.<\/p>\n

Why Micro-training Resources For New Leaders and Supervisors make sense.<\/h4>\n

Call it clich\u00e9, but training upcoming leaders is vital to a well-oiled organization. It\u2019s indispensable across all ranks. This is why organizations that zero-in on a training model that delivers what new leaders and supervisors must learn in the regular course of business includes the soft skills required to lead and motivate people.<\/p>\n

Leadership training should not end when people head home from the elaborately-planned weekend immersion study.\u00a0In fact, it shouldn\u2019t end.<\/p>\n

Is this possible?<\/p>\n

ABSOLUTELY!<\/p>\n

Micro-training resources for new leaders and supervisors.<\/h4>\n

We all know how huge amounts of information are difficult to process.\u00a0 It\u2019s like eating a huge wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano in one go.<\/p>\n

But break the wheel into tiny chunks (and maybe pair it with a glass of Chardonnay), and it wouldn\u2019t be so overwhelming. \u00a0In fact, it\u2019s more enjoyable that way.\u00a0 Similarly, when leadership training is fed in smaller chunks on a consistent and regular basis, information isn\u2019t just understood, it is retained. It is also practiced.<\/p>\n

These bite-sized learning opportunities are what we, at TIGERS\u00ae Success Series call micro-training.<\/p>\n

How can micro-training help existing leaders?<\/h4>\n

Well-run organizations, big or small, have six principles in common when the focus is on building an ethical, quality-focused, productive, cooperative and successful organization. These measurable and observable principles are trust, interdependence, genuineness, empathy, risk resolution, and success.\u00a0 Put together, these six principles form a fitting acronym — TIGERS\u00ae.<\/p>\n

Group dynamic research in business, psychology, and education have found that these six principles are essential in:<\/p>\n
