Innovative Leadership Solutions Depend Upon Innovative Learning Solutions!Have you made innovative leadership solutions important objectives of your training programs? Do your organizational development efforts use innovative training workshops and similar methods to help you produce innovative learning solutions?
Innovative leadership solutions should be required outcomes for today's training workshops, seminars and courses. Trainers and corporate leaders must ensure their educational programs discover, deliver and increase the number and quality of innovative learning solutions, results and outcomes their enterprises need for success.
When business, government, community and public service organizations launch programs which focus on innovative leadership solutions, they quickly transform their leaders, knowledge professionals and customer-facing teams into innovative, strategic, visionary thinkers and performers.
You may ask if there are reliable ways available to you to build, reinforce and expand the innovative learning skills of your people? How will you empower your people and help them to develop greater quantities of qualitative innovative leadership solutions for your organization?
Our recent research studies and practical training experiences reveal five very interesting facts:
- There are 19 behaviors, dominant traits and strategic actions which will always produce innovative leadership solutions
- While some people show a natural affinity for one or more of those 19 traits, anyone can learn and master those innovative leadership solutions-oriented behaviors
- Innovative learning solutions provide learners with ways to continue their education without resorting to a complete overhaul or total refit
- Innovative training workshops and class schedules can be blended in a creative manner so that learners retain more and develop a deeper understanding of key ideas
- Innovative leadership solutions do attract newer, more effective innovative learning solutions and methods for innovative training workshops
Innovative Learning Solution-1The 19 innovative leadership solutions make it easy for leaders to expertly perform three primary tasks for their own enrichment or their people's growth:
- Engage: hearts, minds, hands and wills;
- Empower: skills, performances and competencies;
- Encourage: endeavors, strengths and confidence
These tasks apply regardless of a leader's choice to adopt innovative leadership solutions, such as: "Effectiveness Junkie"; "Impassioned Player"; "Grand-Planner" or others.
Innovative Learning Solution-2Your innovative training workshops or materials should give students an environment, context and interactivity in which they can observe, assess or evaluate, practice and apply as well as improve their mastery of those 19 innovative leadership solutions.
The environmental factors involved in their training must allow for their development of or experimentation with innovative organizational designs, innovative staffing solutions and assignments, as well as, ensuring learners have an opportunities to launch, assess, lead or manage other structurally-focused, operationally-oriented or culturally-directed innovative initiatives.
Give your executive leadership training clients the ways and means they will need to be able to work in different contexts, such as, working with the engineering or marketing departments, working with community service organizations on events where your company has taken a sponsorship role, or allow your learners to implement or supervise innovative initiatives rather than plan or create those campaigns.
Your innovative leadership team members should find ways to richly, robustly and religiously interact with
- Each other as they work together on or within different kinds of situations (e.g., contexts, functions, projects, etc.);
- Other employees or other types of associates (technical, sales, hourly, salaried, part-time, etc.) in your organization as those personnel are engaged in their tasks and environments;
- The partners (joint venture, strategic, affiliates, etc.), distributors, suppliers and providers to your organization;
- Stakeholders in your organization including your neighbors, community, government, investors or owners, special interest or watchdog groups
Innovative Learning Solution-3If your innovative leadership training workshops involve the supervised application, practice and assessment of a client's skills in real-life, mission-critical, production-driven situations, those leaders are certain to enjoy the benefits of a continuing education without having to endure the drudgery of formal, stale classroom lectures.
Your supervision of client progress could be as easy as reading their weekly one-page progress reports, consulting or meeting with the student for 45-60 minutes once a month, asking students to teach a class or workshop on 3 to 5 leadership skills or principles they have had to use during the last three months.
Your desire to discover, groom and deploy innovative leadership solutions for your organization can be easily satisfied. Of course, you will need to adjust, finesse and evaluate the descriptions and definitions for those 19 innovative leadership solutions which best fit and apply to your organizational model, culture and industry.
My suggestions can take you further down the road by helping you create, build and manage your own set of unique innovative learning solutions. You simply use the ideas for conducting innovative training workshops and continuing educational sessions presented in this article.
When you do, you will be pleased to find your team generating, spawning and sprouting forth innovative solutions in all seasons, regardless of the competitive forces, complex situations or thorny challenges facing your organization.
