Executives have a lot on their plate. They are guiding a whole company through change, economic fluctuations, competition, and more, and the company’s success hinges on their abilities. This is why it is imperative that leaders continue to learn and grow.
You may feel like you don’t have the time to invest in training because of your busy schedule. Fortunately, modern technology makes it easier to create, gather, and process information. This has saved leaders time and enhanced their decision-making. To beat out the competition, leaders need to be at the top of their game, as things can shift in an instant.
Executives must encourage their organizations to change how they deliver training. Carefully selecting what content is covered in training, and following the regimen, helps everyone learn and develop critical skills. Research has shown that when training is personalized, put into micro-video formats, and included in the workflow, employees respond well to it.
