6A STUDY ON INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAMS CONDUCTED IN CORPORATES IN PUNE
Leadership has been described as "a process ofsocial influence in which one person can enlist
the aid andsupport of others in the accomplishment of a commontask", although there are
alternative definitions of leadership. For example, some understand a leader simply as somebody
whom people follow, or as somebody who guides or directs others, while others define
leadership as "organizing a group of people to achieve a common goal.
Studies of leadership have produced theories involving traits, situational interaction, function,
behavior,power,vision andvalues,charisma,and intelligence, among others.
Good leaders are made not born. I f you have the desire and wi l lpower, you can become an effective
leader. Good leaders develop through a never ending process of self-study, education, tr aining, and
experience .
To inspire your workers into higher levels of teamwork, there are certain things you must be,
know,and, do.These do not come naturally, but are acquired through continual work and study.
Good leaders are continually working and studying to improve their leadership skills; they are
NOT resting on their laurels.
Leadership is a process by which a person influences others to accomplish an objective and
directs the organization in a way that makes it more cohesive and coherent.
Another popular definition of Leadership is a process whereby an individual influences a group
of individuals to achieve a common goal .
The U.S. military has studied leadership in depth. One of their definitions is a process by which a
soldier influences others to accomplish a mission (U.S. Army, 1983).
Note that all three definitions have one process in commona person influences others to get
something accomplished
Leaders carry out this process by applying their leadership knowledge and skills. This is called
Process Leadership (Jago, 1982). However, we know that we have traits that can influence our

actions. This is called Trait Leadership (Jago, 1982), in that it was once common to believe that
leaders were born rather than made. These two leadership types are shown in the chart below :
While leadership is learned, the skills and knowledge processed by the leader can be influenced
by his or hers attributes or traits, such as beliefs, values, ethics, and character. Knowledge and
skills contribute directly to the process of leadership, while the other attributes give the leader
certain characteristics that make him or her unique.
Skills, knowledge, and attributes make the Leader, which is one of the Factors of Leadership.

There are four primary factors of leadership :
Leader
You must have an honest understanding of who you are, what you know, and what you can do.
Also, note that it is the followers, not the leader or someone else who determines if the leader is
successful. If they do not trust or lack confidence in their leader, then they will be uninspired. To
be successful you have to convince your followers, not yourself or your superiors, that you are
worthy of being followed.

Followers
Different people require different styles of leadership. For example, a new hire requires more
supervision than an experienced employee does. A person who lacks motivation requires a
different approach than one with a high degree of motivation. You must know your people! The
fundamental starting point is having a good understanding of human nature, such as needs,
emotions, and motivation. You must come to know your employees' be, know, and do attributes.
Communication
You lead through two-way communication. Much of it is nonverbal. For instance, when you set
the example, that communicates to your people that you would not ask them to perform
anything that you would not be willing to do. What and how you communicate either builds or
harms the relationship between you and your employees.
Situation
All situations are different. What you do in one situation will not always work in another. You
must use your judgment to decide the best course of action and the leadership style needed for
each situation. For example, you may need to confront an employee for inappropriate behavior,
but if the confrontation is too late or too early, too harsh or too weak, then the results may prove
ineffective.
Also note that the situation normally has a greater effect on a leader's action than his or her traits.
This is because while traits may have an impressive stability over a period of time, they have
little consistency across situations (Mischel, 1968). This is why a number of leadership scholarsthink the Process Theory of Leadership is a more accurate than the Trait Theory of Leadership.

Various forces will affect these four factors. Examples of forces are:
your relationship with your seniors
the skill of your followers
the informal leaders within your organization
how your organization is organized
Management verses Leadership
While management and leadership have a great deal in common, such as working with people
and accomplishing the goals of the organization, they do differ in their primary functions (Kotter,
1990):
Management's main function is to produce order and consistency through processes, such as
planning, budgeting, organizing, staffing, and problem solving.
While leadership's main function is to produce movement and constructive or adaptive change
through processes, such as establishing direction through visioning, aligning people, motivating,
and inspiring.

Total Leadership
What makes a person want to follow a leader? People want to be guided by leaders they respect
and who have a clear sense of direction. To gain respect, they must be ethical. A sense of
direction is achieved by conveying a strong vision of the future.
When people are deciding if they respect you as a leader, they do not think about your attributes,
rather, they observe what you do so that they can know who you really are. They use this
observation to tell if you are an honorable and trusted leader or a self-serving person who
misuses authority to look good and get promoted.
On the other hand, self-serving leaders are not as effective because their employees only obey
them, not follow them. They succeed in many areas because they present a good image to their
seniors at the expense of their workers.
Good leadership is honorable character and selfless service to your organization. In your
employees' eyes, your leadership is everything you do that effects the organization's objectives
and their well-being.
The Two Most Important Keys to Effective Leadership:
Trust and confidence in top leadership was the single most reliable predictor of employee
satisfaction in an organization.
Effective communication by leadership in three critical areas was the key to winning
organizational trust and confidence:
8/13/2019 Leadership Training Programs in Corporates
12/45
12A STUDY ON INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAMS CONDUCTED IN CORPORATES IN PUNE
1.Helping employees understand the company's overall business strategy.
2.Helping employees understand how they contribute to achieving key business objectives.
3.Sharing information with employees on both how the company is doing and how an
employee's own division is doing.
So in a nutshellyou must be trustworthy and you have to be able to communicate a vision of
where the organization needs to go. The next section, Principles of Leadership, ties in closely
with this key concept.
Principles of Leadership
To help you be, know, and do, follow these eleven principles of leadership (U.S. Army, 1983).
The rest of the chapters in this Leadership guide expand on these principles and provide tools for
implementing them:
1.Know yourself and seek self-improvement- In order to know yourself, you have to
understand your be, know, and do, attributes. Seeking self-improvement means continually
strengthening your attributes. This can be accomplished through self-study, formal classes,
reflection, and interacting with others.
2.Be technically proficient- As a leader, you must know your job and have a solid familiarity
with your employees' tasks.
3.Seek responsibility and take responsibility for your actions- Search for ways to guide your
organization to new heights. And when things go wrong, as they often tend to do sooner or later
do not blame others. Analyze the situation, take corrective action, and move on to the next
challenge.
4.Make sound and timely decisions- Use good problem solving, decision making, and
planning tools.
5.Set the example- Be a good role model for your employees. They must not only hear what
they are expected to do, but also see. We must become the change we want to see - Mahatma
Gandhi
8/13/2019 Leadership Training Programs in Corporates

13A STUDY ON INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAMS CONDUCTED IN CORPORATES IN PUNE
6.Know your people and look out for their well-being- Know human nature and the
importance of sincerely caring for your workers.
7.Keep your workers informed- Know how to communicate with not only them, but also
seniors and other key people.
8.Develop a sense of responsibility in your workers - Help to develop good character traits that
will help them carry out their professional responsibilities.
9.Ensure that tasks are understood, supervised, and accomplished- Communication is the
key to this responsibility.
10.Train as a team- Although many so called leaders call their organization, department,
section, etc. a team; they are not really teams... they are just a group of people doing their jobs.
11.Use the full capabilities of your organization- By developing a team spirit, you will be able
to employ your organization, department, section, etc. to its fullest capabilities.
Attributes of Leadership: BE, KNOW, and DO
Respected leaders concentrate on Be, Know, and Do :
what they are [be] (such as beliefs and character)
what they know (such as job, tasks, and human nature)
what they do (such as implementing, motivating, and providing direction).
BE a professional. Examples: Be loyal to the organization, perform selfless service, takepersonal responsibility.
BE a professionalwho possess good character traits. Examples: honesty, competence, candor,
commitment, integrity, courage, straightforwardness, imagination.

Environment
Every organization has a particular work environment, which dictates to a considerable degree
how its leaders respond to problems and opportunities. This is brought about by its heritage of
past leaders and its present leaders.
Goals, Values, and Concepts
Leaders exert influence on the environment via three types of actions:
1.The goals and performance standards they establish.
2.The values they establish for the organization.
3.The business and people concepts they establish.
Successful organizations have leaders who set high standards and goals across the entire
spectrum, such as strategies, market leadership, plans, meetings and presentations, productivity,quality, and reliability.
Values reflect the concern the organization has for its employees, customers, investors, vendors,
and surrounding community. These values define the manner in how business will be conducted.
Concepts define what products or services the organization will offer and the methods and
processes for conducting business.
These goals, values, and concepts make up the organization's personality or how the organizationis observed by both outsiders and insiders. This personality defines the roles, relationships,
rewards, and rites that take place.

16A STUDY ON INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAMS CONDUCTED IN CORPORATES IN PUNE
Roles and Relationships
Roles are the positions that are defined by a set of expectations about behavior of any job
incumbent. Each role has a set of tasks and responsibilities that may or may not be spelled out.
Roles have a powerful effect on behavior for several reasons, to include money being paid for
the performance of the role, there is prestige attached to a role, and a sense of accomplishment or
challenge.
Relationships are determined by a role's tasks. While some tasks are performed alone, most are
carried out in relationship with others. The tasks will determine who the role-holder is required
to interact with, how often, and towards what end. Normally the greater the interaction, the
greater the liking. This in turn leads to more frequent interactions. In human behavior, its hard to
like someone whom we have no contact with, and we tend to seek out those we like. People tend
to do what they are rewarded for, and friendship is a powerful reward. Many tasks and behaviors
that are associated with a role are brought about by these relationships. That is, new task and
behaviors are expected of the present role-holder because a strong relationship was developed in
the past, either by that role-holder or a prior role-holder.
Culture and Climate
There are two distinct forces that dictate how to act within an organization: culture and climate.
Each organization has its own distinctive culture. It is a combination of the founders, past
leadership, current leadership, crises, events, history, and size (Newstrom, Davis, 1993). This
results in rites: the routines, rituals, and the way we do things. These rites impact individual
behavior on what it takes to be in good standing (the norm) and directs the appropriate behavior
for each circumstance.
8/13/2019 Leadership Training Programs in Corporates
17/45
17A STUDY ON INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAMS CONDUCTED IN CORPORATES IN PUNE
The climate is the feel of the organization, the individual and shared perceptions and attitudes of
the organization's members (Ivancevich, Konopaske, Matteson, 2007). While the culture is the
deeply rooted nature of the organization that is a result of long-held formal and informal systems,
rules, traditions, and customs; climate is a short-term phenomenon created by the current
leadership. Climate represents the beliefs about the feel of the organization by its members.
This individual perception of the feel of the organization comes from what the people believe
about the activities that occur in the organization. These activities influence both individual and
team motivation and satisfaction, such as:
How well does the leader clarify the priorities and goals of the organization? What is expected
of us?
What is the system of recognition, rewards, and punishments in the organization?
How competent are the leaders?
Are leaders free to make decisions?
What will happen if I make a mistake?
Organizational climate is directly related to the leadership and management style of the leader,
based on the values, attributes, skills, and actions, as well as the priorities of the leader. Compare
this to ethical climate the feel of the organization about the activities that have ethical
content or those aspects of the work environment that constitute ethical behavior. The ethical
climate is the feel about whether we do things right; or the feel of whether we behave the way we
ought to behave. The behavior (character) of the leader is the most important factor that
influences the climate.
On the other hand, culture is a long-term, complex phenomenon. Culture represents the shared
expectations and self-image of the organization. The mature values that create tradition or the
way we do things here. Things are done differently in every organization. The collective vision
and common folklore that define the institution are a reflection of culture. Individual leaders
cannot easily create or change culture because culture is a part of the organization. Culture

18A STUDY ON INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAMS CONDUCTED IN CORPORATES IN PUNE
influences the characteristics of the climate by its effect on the actions and thought processes of
the leader. But, everything you do as a leader will affect the climate of the organization.
The Process of Great Leadership
The road to great leadership (Kouzes & Posner, 1987) that is common to successful l leaders:
Challenge the process - First, find a process that you believe needs to be improved the most.
Inspire a shared vision - Next, share your vision in words that can be understood by your
followers.
Enable others to act - Give them the tools and methods to solve the problem.
Model the way - When the process gets tough, get your hands dirty. A boss tells others what to
do; a leader shows that it can be done.
Encourage theheart - Share the glory with your followers' hearts, while keeping the pains
within your own.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
The need for effective business leaders in India is as intense as it is in most countries. But the
path that Indian firms take to develop effective leaders is considerably different than the path
followed by American or Canadian firms. After reading this article, organizations hoping to
deliver leadership development programs to Indian managers will understand the differences and
the approach that they need to take to win business from Indian firms.
In todays world, executive education basically means leadership training, as leadership is
8/13/2019 Leadership Training Programs in Corporates
19/45
19A STUDY ON INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAMS CONDUCTED IN CORPORATES IN PUNE
broadly integrated into all forms of executive education. But does leadership training ensure
success at the top management team level, and therefore, successful organizations?
No one is willing to argue that leadership does not matter; that would be short-sighted indeed.
However, leadership has become a catch-all term whose pervasiveness has robbed it of its true
meaning; this is especially true in todays fast-moving emerging markets. In conversations with
CEOs and heads of HR at over 50 of Indias largest and most innovative firms, it is quite
apparent that the Indian CXO1community defines leadership in ways that push the bounds of
traditional definitions offered by researchers and professionals in organizational behaviour or
applied behavioural sciences. Indian senior executives cannot afford to invest in programs that
take such a one-sided, individual-focused view on leadership; they are under pressure to make
money today, tomorrow, the next day and next year! When the GDP is growing at a rate of
almost 10 percent year over year, and firms stop to train their top managers, this training has to
be multifaceted and practical enough to improve the managers ability to lead the firm in its
quest to capture value in an increasingly competitive environment.
Top managers in leading Indian firms dont speak about their leadership development needs in
the way most universities, consulting firms or training organizations do. The leadership
8/13/2019 Leadership Training Programs in Corporates
20/45
20A STUDY ON INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAMS CONDUCTED IN CORPORATES IN PUNE
development needs for top managers are much more specific and linked to the firms bottom
line. If Indias top firms are going to depend on executive development organizations to help
shape their future leaders, these outfits will have to be at the forefront of research and teaching in
six key areas of strategic leadership:
(1) Managing growth
(2) Developing a global mindset
(3) Developing and retaining talent
(4) Developing strong fiscal management
(5) Institutionalizing creativity
(6) Leading across an enterprise.
(1) LEADING TO MANAGE GROWTH
In the last five years, Indias GDP has been growing at a rate of 10 percent annually. As well,
exports from Indian firms have doubled over the last five years. The forecasts are equally
positive, with GDP, private consumption, investment growth and domestic demand all expected
to grow a by slightly less than10 percent per year for the next 5 years. This explosive growth
scenario generates two different views of leadership at the firm level. Some Indian executives
actively take on a short horizon view: Why do we have to worry about leadership when any
mistakes or weaknesses are easily remedied by the growth in demand; if we take our critical
leadership cadre away from the business of the daythe opportunity costs are unfathomable.
8/13/2019 Leadership Training Programs in Corporates
21/45
21A STUDY ON INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAMS CONDUCTED IN CORPORATES IN PUNE
The longer horizon view is: What if the economists are wrong and the growth scenario doesnt
pan out? What if the number of foreign entrants into the Indian market space creates a level of
competitiveness that begins to counterbalance the benefits of growth?
CEOs at Indias biggest firms take the second view. What happens when the economic boom
begins to wind down? Will companies have leadership teams in place that know how to create
growth opportunities in a leaner environment? Will Indian managers be able to effectively and
efficiently compete against competitors to capture more of the markets in which they do
business? In todays high-growth environments, creating and capturing growth is a key
leadership skill that many Indian leaders simply have not had the opportunity to develop.
Leaders with this set of skills will be crucial to Indian corporations long-term success.
8/13/2019 Leadership Training Programs in Corporates
22/45
22A STUDY ON INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAMS CONDUCTED IN CORPORATES IN PUNE
(2) DEVELOPING A GLOBAL MINDSET IS CRUCIAL TO BEING A
SUCCESSFUL
LEADER
For a little less than a decade, FDI inflows to India have been on a positive upswing. The biggest
sources of FDI into India include Mauritius, Singapore, the U.S., the UK and the Netherlands.
Indian managers are constantly being confronted by the challenge of working with partners who
are much more globally experienced. Expatriates working in multinationals and Indian firms
have almost always lived in multiple countries, have been able to speak more than a few
languages, and have education bases that span the globe. These global managers often hold
pivotal positions in their firms, and Indian CEOs realize that they depend on their advanced
global mindset to drive growth not only in India but also outside India. In fact, in countries as far
away as the U.S. and Canada, it is now becoming impossible to reach the senior management
level without having lived and worked abroad for at least 3 years. The bar for leadership is going
upleaders must be global. To ensure that Indian companies have Indian managers with a
global mindset, the companies will need to provide top managers with the training that enables
them to think across country boundaries and cultures, to work in multi-cultural environments, to
learn how to coexist with business realities that are often very different from the ones at home,
8/13/2019 Leadership Training Programs in Corporates
23/45
23A STUDY ON INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAMS CONDUCTED IN CORPORATES IN PUNE
and to understand organizational structures such as joint ventures and acquisitions, both very
common in the global business scenario.
(3) DEVELOPING AND RETAINING TALENT
The dark side of growth and globalization for Indian companies is retaining high-quality people
at reasonable salary levels. Indian managers often blame GDP, foreign firms willing to pay
higher salaries, booming sectors such as education and real estate, growing costs of MBA
programs, and the repatriation of droves of NRIs (non-resident Indians) making India home once
again. Rarely do managers turn the mirror around and blame themselvesmanagers are
unwilling to admit that most managers are not very good at creating a work environment or
designing systems that effectively develop and retain people. In the Indian scenario, attrition
rates can range from 15 percent to 50 percent per year, depending on the sector and the
management level. Employees usually state better compensation or opportunities for career
growth as the main reasons for leaving one job for another. However, more recently, Indian
employees are becoming concerned about developing a reputation for being a serial employee
one that jumps from one employer to the other. Between these two realities is an opportunity
8/13/2019 Leadership Training Programs in Corporates
24/45
24A STUDY ON INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAMS CONDUCTED IN CORPORATES IN PUNE
for top managers to lead in a way that develops and retains talent. This means that managers will
have to hone their skills in fostering employee engagement, become strong communicators with
exceptional interpersonal skills, inspire commitment, and participate in coaching and mentoring
employees for growth.
(4) DEVELOPING STRONG FISCAL MANAGEMENT
In India, a successful leader must understand the financial markets. In the last few years, the
number of companies accessing debt has increased, as have the number of IPOs, the funds raised
by these IPOs and the relative success rate of the IPOs. Understanding the intersection between
financial management and leadership is crucial to success, especially in light of the forecasted
business growth in India. In order to lead, top managers must understand key questions such as:
How does the relationship between debt and equity in my firm affect my ability to grow? How
does cash management influence decision making and the companys ability to take advantage of
opportunities inside and outside the firm? How do the numbers influence the value I can create
and offer to customers? Managers at multiple levels and across different functions of the
organization have to have this level of understanding. In high-growth environments it is not
enough to look to the CFO to provide the answers. Without understanding the fundamental
8/13/2019 Leadership Training Programs in Corporates
25/45
25A STUDY ON INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAMS CONDUCTED IN CORPORATES IN PUNE
financial implications of every decision, leaders will simply not be prepared to lead their
companies to success in the new Indian economy.
(5) INSTITUTIONALIZING CREATIVITY
Indian business is a hotbed of innovation. The number of patents filed each year for the last 5
years has been increasing by almost 11 percent annually. In 2004, the number of patents granted
was slightly more than 10 percent of the number filed; today that number has increased to almost
50 percent. Indians are becoming more astute innovators; however they are being outpaced on
every front by the Chinese. In order to lead successfully, the top manger will have to understand
how to foster innovative ideas and thinking at the individual level, how to create an
organizational culture that supports innovation, and how to ensure that the right structures are in
place that enable innovations to rise up in the organization. Managers will have to understand
and be able to leverage the innovation value chain in their own companies.
(6) CROSS-ENTERPRISE STRATEGY FORMULATION AND
IMPLEMENTATION
To make good on the pressures to lead such as managing growth, keeping the best people in the
job, developing and acting with a more global perspective, or thinking in a way that is more
8/13/2019 Leadership Training Programs in Corporates
26/45
26A STUDY ON INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAMS CONDUCTED IN CORPORATES IN PUNE
bottom-line oriented, leaders have to change the way they think. Most leaders prefer to stay
within their own functional areas of expertise; this is usually also the function or department of
the organization they understand best and the one in which they dont have to share too much
power in decision making. However, this kind of territorial leadership behaviour will hurt
todays Indian organization. Tomorrows leaders will have to focus on developing the leadership
skills that enable them to look beyond the walls and silos in the organizational chart and
approach issues from a perspective that spans the entire organization. They will need to have an
advanced understanding of the ramifications of their decisions and actions across the
organization, allowing them to capitalize on the opportunities and synergies that result from
seeing the big picture. They will need to develop advanced competencies such as being able to
(1)quickly and effectively understand the business, i.e. how it configures it resources tocreate
(2)value for customers, (2) manage complexity and ambiguity by being good at developing aset of strategic options that allow the firm to create and capture value, (3) design micro
and macro structures within the organization to enable execution of complex strategies,
and (4) inspire commitment and excitement from the people who execute the firms
strategy.
What do the six dimensions of leadership development described above say to the traditional
leadership development approaches that tend to focus on 360s, personality dimensions and how
8/13/2019 Leadership Training Programs in Corporates
27/45
27A STUDY ON INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAMS CONDUCTED IN CORPORATES IN PUNE
they enable and disable leadership, or even newer approaches that focus on more fashionable
dimensions of personality such as emotional intelligence and its link to leadership effectiveness?
Being an effective leader at the individual and interpersonal levels is still crucial. However, in
todays business environment, leaders without the strategic skill sets outlined above are simply
out-dated and unprepared to drive bottom line results. Leaders without a honed ability to drive
organizational excellence are like parents without the ability to discipline or guide their children.
Both enable disastrous consequences.
LEADERSHIP TRAINING:
Leadership training should be a top priority for companies and corporations, even in tough
economic times according to an article published on Business Week recently. When leadership
training is neglected as organizations tighten their belts, it will affect the bottom line.
In the U.S., a study conducted by Expertus in 2008 indicated that 48% of those companies
surveyed were cutting their leadership training budgets because of economic conditions. As the
economy continued on a downward spiral, cuts in leadership training continued. According to
Business Week, leadership training is essential in any economic climate in order to experience
continued growth in the business arena.
8/13/2019 Leadership Training Programs in Corporates

28A STUDY ON INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAMS CONDUCTED IN CORPORATES IN PUNE
The lack of leadership training meant that employees began to lack motivation and focus,
resulting in "choked" or stifled growth in many companies and organizations. It is necessary for
effective leadership training to be in place consistently, even in tough economic times.
During the last several years of economic crisis, employees have been insecure about their jobs,
which lead to decreased morale; a lack of leadership training left employees without the essential
guidance they need from managers. To sum it all up, the scarcity of available jobs coupled with
job security issues and a decrease in leadership training meant that productivity in employees
decreased tremendously. By implementing effective leadership training now, the garden can
begin to thrive and grow again - meaning more efficient and motivated personnel, and ultimately
continued business growth.
Business Week goes on to say that leadership training, contrary to popular belief, does not
produce only long-term results. In fact, the article claims that results can actually be seen the
same afternoon. Simple strategies such as a one-day workshop can often stimulate the team,
motivating staff and improving skills for effective team leadership. In only hours, the level of
motivation and productivity can be increased substantially - with the help of a good leader.
Several topics that should be covered in leadership training include setting objectives, team
building and helping these teams grown to maximum potential, personal goal setting and how
personal goals and business goals can be aligned. Leadership training is essential in helping
employees gain drive and ambition; they must feel necessary and capable, otherwise they will
feel as if they are just going to a "job" every day, which isn't productive for the growth of the
employee or the company.
Savvy business owners realize that leadership training is an investment in their employees and
ultimately in the success of their company. The company as a whole is invigorated even in a
faltering economy by the investment in leadership training. , a good leadership training program
should include:
