2. I had a repeat trainee today who
undertook the Leadership Training Course
with pdtraining a few months ago.
3. He came back for the Negotiation Training Course, and was
kind enough to provide me with some real-world feedback.
As a recently promoted manager, his company sent him to
attend the leadership training course a month into his new
role. In his first month, he had been trying to be
assertive, to dominate all meetings and
communications, and to be impressive to his subordinates.
4. After attending the Leadership Training
Course he completely changed his
style, and concentrated on understanding
the value systems, needs and motivations
of his team.
5. The result was spectacular. Meetings were
completed more quickly and achieved
more, his team productivity and morale both
significantly improved, and his team developed
a genuine respect for his capabilities.
6. For him, attending the Leadership Training
Course drastically improved his job
performance and his chances of future
promotion.
I have no doubt that we will see him again at
pdtraining!
