If a potential client asks me this question, it usually means I will walk away from the discussion. Now it is fair to want training to be effective and to yield results. However when a potential client frames the question this way, it is an indication that they expect the leadership trainer to magically transform the participants into great leaders who quickly make more money for the company. Developing good leaders is not a 2-day affair, or even a 2-month exercise. A leadership training programme introduces leadership concepts and tools, and offers a platform for participants to reflect on their leadership. However it takes determined and consistent application of what they have learned to become good leaders. Leadership training is not magic. It is about opening minds and setting the stage for continued practice.
