You are right Caroline, there is no magic wand. It is very disappointing for the business and the trainer when the longer term results of training are not achieved. Often it is the training that gets the blame, yet on the day it can be a great success. If trainees go back to the same workplace the next day, working with the same people who treat them the same way, they will revert to their old behaviour, because everything will support that old behaviour. Leadership is vital. We treat it as a partnership of learning with everyone playing a part in bringing about change, otherwise it is only training. It is about changing a culture, not an individual.

An interesting question, but one that I believe make the difference between the mediocre and the best companies. I can’t imagine a situation in which the best companies would ever utter the words “it’s only training”, like you wouldn’t hear them say “they’re only people”. In my view (and ofcourse I share your level of passion) training is part of a total leadership process which supports people across the organisation to be the best that they can be. In organisations that see it as a one off exercise separate from management and leadership, it is the quality of the training that might make the difference but in the best companies it is the quality of the leadership that is imperative because it is that which makes the difference in whether training is really successful or not.
