Leadership and Management Wales latest research into delivering ‘world class’ leadership and management development has delivered new insights, helping them to form their strategy for the future. The findings demonstrate that Call of the Wild’s approach to leadership and management development has been innovative and “…can be a more effective way to improve higher level leadership skills.”
The research, which will be published on their website soon, produces several key outcomes, including:
- ‘Experiential learning’ (learning through experience) can be more effective than solely classroom-based training, and should be embraced in Wales. This can include innovative models such as ‘leaders teaching leaders’, where business leaders share the secrets of their success, or leadership coaching.
- Organisations can increase the impact of their leadership and management development, for instance by ensuring that development plans align with organisational goals, and that there is ‘buy in’ from the top level of management and from employees throughout the organisation.
“The findings show there are exciting new approaches to enhance the impact of leadership and management development, and we are looking to take these to Welsh businesses,“ said LMW’s deputy director, Jo Riley.
“The emphasis in Wales has been on traditional classroom learning, but we know that ‘learning by doing’ – combined with theoretical understanding – can be a more effective way to Improve higher level leadership skills.”
Training courses can be forgettable, but experiential learning development and leadership training courses have the power to inspire people not only to remember the learning but transfer it to the workplace. This is Call of the Wild’s philosophy to delivering behavioural change in the workplace through improving individuals performance. All our leadership courses and leadership training encompass this approach.
