ROI for Soft Skills Training

admin — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 06:21:33 +0000

I was talking today with a former Director of Executive Development for a major company – one of the best companies to work for in the U.S. He reminded me of how his organization was able to calculate ROI for the Enlightened Leadership Solutions work we had done for him.

There is a friendly little challenge for you at the end of the 8 minute video.

Listen to it now and provide your comments!

What are your thoughts about the video, the ROI calculation and the challenge? Comment now, or send us an email.

Management Skills vs Leadership Skills, or is it AND…?

admin — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 06:18:54 +0000

Hi all,

We continue to be grateful for all your feedback via email and comments. While it’s tough to respond to them directly, you can bet we’re reading them all and LISTENING!

This video in our “Experiment in Leadership Development” series addresses how we see management and leadership and their importance to each other. It might be familar to Enlightened Leadership clients, but the example story might be new to you.

The format of this one is VERY DIFFERENT. Please give us your perspectives on it!

So, please give us your comments, and if you haven’t already, fill out the survey. All of this will make sure our future products/services better fit your needs.And yes, we are working hard on something to announce. We’re not trying to hide that, but frankly your input has us scampering back to make changes and improvements. We’ve delayed the project for quite a while because of your input. And we’re not complaining, because we want the final “product” to make a huge difference for you!I’ve personally never known very much about marketing, but the feedback you’re giving us beats any marketing survey I’ve personally ever seen. It’s like you’re really engaged in determining what we release. What a concept! Keep talking to us about your management skills development needs, and we’ll keep listening.

Appreciatively,

Ed Oakley & the Enlightened Leadership Solutions Team

Leadership Development: Effective and Easy Performance Reviews

admin — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 06:16:35 +0000

This is the third in the series of videos in our Leadership Development Experiment. This one is focused on accomplishing Performance Evaluations, Assessments, Appraisals or Reviews easily and effectively. It focuses on bringing out the best in the employee, while making it easy for you to do.

Our perspective is that if Performance Appraisals are easy AND effective, you’ll do them more often – resulting in even more performance improvement.

Check it out!
