The 6 elements of a successful leadership development program
What are the elements that a successful leadership training program should include?
#1 – Small, focused and supportive leadership groups
#2 – Instructors with years of experience leading
#3 – Multiple methods of learning leadership concepts
#4 – Clear goals and milestones for all leader participants
#5 – Methods for identifying future leaders
#6 – Retention program for preserving leaders

Content: The small group also allows for greater support and connection among members. #2 – Instructors with years of experience leading
The best leadership development programs include a strong central leader and a secondary leader, who share years of experience and have effective instruction skills. Look to leaders in the industry who possess this experience and skill working with people. Peter Drucker once said, “Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right thing." Make sure instructors are training leaders to lead others, not teaching basic management skills. #3 – Multiple methods of learning leadership concepts
Every person in the leadership training program will come with different ways of learning new concepts, absorbing and sharing information, and seeing the world. Create a multi-media training program that brings in the best of all forms of learning, from written materials to in-person conference participation. Make leadership training fun and something that all participants can get excited about. #4 – Clear goals and milestones for all leader participants
Each person who is learning in the leadership development program should have sat down with a mentor to decide on short and long term goals.
