Career Management TrainingWhy do we continually fight ourselves on getting some type of good career management training. We know we need it yet we blow it off! Managers are being squeezed more and more everyday to do more with less! For the successful manager and organization you find that they invest in some type of leadership or management training for them! If they don't, well then you get what you get. The old saying that you get out of it what you put into it rings true! It is a fact that highly effective managers are more productive, enjoy less stress and are more successful in their careers. They are more successful and stress free because they have invested time and resources into some type of career management training. Just some of the issues facing you everyday are employee conflicts, coaching your employees, constant changes, trying to build solid productive teams, conducting meaningful performance reviews, setting realistic goals, and so on. I went to a great management class once and when I returned I was so excited that I was telling a fellow co-workers about it. The response I received was amazing. They turned to me and said I wished I had the time to attend training! I am so far behind trying to meet my goals I don't have time to hardly take lunch! Well the truth was that they were way behind and they were struggling to keep their head above water. The training I went to was on setting realistic goals. It helped me tremendously in so many ways and would have helped them! It was but about a year later that this manager that I mentioned earlier was let go for not being able to handle the work load. They just were not equipped to handle the tough issues facing all of us today. They needed the training I attended and a lot more. It wasn't that they were not smart, because they were. They just didn't take the time to learn new and productive ways to deal with all the aspects of leadership and management facing us all today. Sometimes we think we know everything as a manager and don't need help. Then a difficult issues rears its ugly head and then there it is, we are faced with a very difficult issue brand new to us with no mental tools to deal with it. Sometimes we lose a good employee because of it. Or maybe we end up with an employee law suit. Through my career I have taken every opportunity to attend any related training, to read books and magazines, and watch training videos. Yes some of them were close to a waste of time; however, most were not. For the most part I was able to get something, even if it was just one thing from almost all of them. It is amazing how down the road I was able to take that little something and put it to use. Take the time and invest yourself into learning new things, even if you already know everything!
