Does your organization want (and need) more effective front-line leadership? Do you have talented internal trainers and want to leverage their skills for organizational impact? If so, let me suggest the best thing they could do now.

It is hard to argue the importance of more effective front-line leadership to the success of any organization.  When you have greater skills and confidence among your front-line leaders you will have less turnover, more stability, better morale, better customer service and quality, and generally better results by any measure.

If your organization is pleased with the effectiveness of front-line leadership, great.  If not, then focusing your internal training efforts on this high-leverage activity makes good strategic sense.

Once that decision is reached, the decision that remains is: do we build something internally, or do we certify our trainers on proven existing materials.  There isn’t time in this article to outline all the pluses and minuses of those two viable options, but if you realize that time is of the essence, and the that everyday tat you spend deciding or building learning materials your leaders are learning on the job and perhaps building the wrong habits, the more urgent you will see this situation.

The fastest way to use your internal training skills to build more effective front-line leadership is to certify your trainer or trainers in our Bud to Boss workshop.  This certification process prepares and supports your trainers to deliver our Bud to Boss content in a flexible way (virtually or face-to-face, as a workshop or individual modules), supported by video content for key points – to ensure consistent understanding and application.

After certification, your organization licenses the content on a per leader basis – no contracts or minimums – providing a stable and economical investment in some of your most important employees.

While we would love to work with you to create more effective front-line leadership, regardless of how you get there, we urge you to consider ways to improve the skills and confidence of this important asset to your organization.
