Is It Leadership Training or Fine-Tuning? Exploring the Role of Trainers in Shaping Leaders

Hi Trainers,

Quite amazing! We talk about Leadership and Motivation to Leaders, Employees, Managers, Executives, Sales Team. Now, do you call this training or fine-tuning?

I would call this fine-tuning. The people mentioned above have all the raw material (your company requires from a human resource) needed to make a product or to be a leader or be motivated.

And I would call it training when you make the same product or a leader from whatever is simply available (or to be frank, from whatever is leftover).

Watch this, and I believe you would agree with me. The trainer of this man is a masterpiece. We would always think of the performers. Here, I think very much of the trainer. What guts!

Cheers!

Hi Rajesh,

I agree with you that training is a must. Training can convert a stone into a priceless jewel. At the same time, I believe that it is not only the efforts of a trainer that are needed in this process; even the trainee needs to put in his effort (I would say heart and soul) to make the effort worthwhile. It is in the hands of the trainer and trainee to make the training a success.

Regards,
Jaya

I agree with you, Jaya. But for Helen Keller's determination, it could have been an impossible task for Anne Sullivan.

Rajesh Thomas.

Yes, Rajesh, it would have been impossible for Anne Sullivan. She would have had to put in the initial effort to create interest in the pupil. That's the challenge that the trainer faces - to create interest in the participants. If the trainer fails, then the whole process is going to be a waste. Creating interest or self-interest is what matters in the training program.

Yes, Rajesh, I do agree with you that it would have been impossible for Anne. But don't you think that's where the challenge lies for a trainer - to create interest in the participants? Just imagine if Helen never got interested in whatever Anne taught her; then she would not have become what she is. I believe the first job of the trainer is to create interest in the participants; otherwise, the whole training process is going to be a waste. Creating interest or self-interest in training will make the training a success.

Regards, Jaya
