Leadership skills for trainers
Abstract
There is heightened awareness and demand for training in most organizations today. The idea of being more effective through learning and training is not new. However, education through corporate training programs is even more valued in companies that employ knowledge workers, for whom upgrading skills is a necessity rather than a choice. Considering the above facts it is critical that training is delivered in a way that ensure that trainees receive the right messages and are impacted in ways that would benefit them and the organizations they serve.
This white paper looks at the rich overlaps and similarities between the role of a leader and trainer. It proposes the idea of treating the role of training as leading in the classroom. Both require knowledge, passion and motivation. This paper considers the framework of the six roles of a trainer and elaborates on the leadership component of each. It leaves the reader not just with the what of it, but also the how, and concludes with the idea that the qualities and roles of effective leadership have a lot in common with those of effective training.
