1) PAIRING LEADERSHIP TRAINING WITH THE RIGHT TECH METHODS
Deciding what technology to use in leadership training can be difficult because so much of it is generalized. Corporates need custom learning solutions specific to their needs. Why? Because technology alone is not the answer to training challenges. Your training tools need to impact individuals, give learners the opportunity to practice, and measure progress. By focusing on these issues, leadership training can align with learning technology to offer more effective training styles.
2) FOCUS ON INDIVIDUALS
Science fiction films have given technology a reputation for being both efficient and impersonal. In actuality, technology serves to enhance rather than to replace the special, intimate features of human relationship. Technological advances in training are wonderful, but it's easy to fall victim to the allure of a shiny new tool. That technology has the potential to ruin your training programme if you don't know how it will impact each member of your team. Because of this, it's critical that all training concentrate on assisting people and reducing unintended consequences.
By coming to the learners' midway, technology may be used to great effect in leadership training. For instance, microlearning stresses short, digestible training that learners can complete at their own speed. A leader who embraces the flexibility of communication methods may, in order to attend to the requirements of specific employees, choose to text some and use Facetime with others.
It's not necessary to confine leadership development to onboarding new hires or improving the abilities of existing leaders. Most employees might gain from developing common abilities, such as communication, delegation, time management, feedback, etc. Teaching leadership abilities at a young age will also facilitate any later shifts from individual contributors to leaders. Sadly, workers might not always have the time or resources to dedicate to their own growth. That's made easier by an efficient learning management system (LMS) or learning portal, but figuring out which technology is the best fit can still be challenging.
3) USE IMMERSIVE LEADERSHIP TRAINING PRACTICES
With the use of immersive training technologies, students may now practise real-world situations like never before. Even with a big number of learners, role-playing and practicing scenarios with colleagues can still be beneficial because it doesn't need as much time or coordination. It's important that participants treat it with seriousness. Therefore, that might be a tall order unless they were involved in high school theatre. Alternatively, consider simulating circumstances with a fidelity that can only be achieved by technology by employing videos featuring actors playing pre-written scenarios. Immersion training is particularly beneficial for leadership positions, where interactions with clients and workers may carry greater responsibility, particularly when it closely emulates reality.
The Quiet Leadership Institute (QLI), emphasises the value of interactive practice and personalised attention. In order to assist businesses in making better use of their employees' introverted, ambiverted, or extroverted traits at work, QLI set out to create an online course.
MEASURE PROGRESS:
Measuring the progress and effectiveness of leadership training can be a difficult task. Consider the forgetting curve during instructor-led training. Learners forget 50% of course content after two weeks [1]. In this case, it is especially important to understand the benefits of technology. Enhance your training with learning portal-based reporting and analytics that can help you track performance after the initial training. Training technology can also provide a framework to make training results more tangible. For example, you can use quizzes, pre- and post-training self-assessments, and track important data points over time. Collecting this data can fill in gaps, provide research trends, and help leaders understand where to train.
