title: The impact leadership has on training and change.
abstract: * Training alone often misses the mark. One tenth of one percent of all change initiatives lead to any kind of positive sustainable change that can be attributed to the effect of the training. One out of every thousand training programs, culture change initiatives, experiential interventions, actually in-and-of-themselves appear to have the intended effect. * The results an organization is experiencing (good or bad) are a product of the organizational/work design and management system. Results do not create themselves. They are a consequence, a determined outcome of all the ingredients of the organization. * Many leaders deal with the symptoms of a problem instead of focusing on the root cause. * Working on oneself and then leading the training (whatever it is) is the best way to ensure results for you and your team.
