What is worse than offering up training and education to your people and them leaving? The answer is not offering it and having them stay. Today, more importantly than ever allowing your team and people to upgrade their skills is critical to your business and retaining good people.
One myth we must understand is that the Driven to Lead Program hosted by the Private Motor Truck Council of Canada (PMTC) is for everyone and anyone in our industry.
You do not have to be 40 or younger to attend.
A couple of thoughts;
  • A winning organization is an environment of personal & professional development in which every individual is responsible for for their success and the companies success.
  • Better people make better leaders.
  • Some businesses are world champions at wasting talent. Don’t waste your people’s.
  • Developing people, driving high performance behaviours is a never ending task.
In business training & education is often seen as a soft option and is limited the occasional away day out of the office. Times have changed and if you are a decision maker about who gets trained and educated and your not sending your people for professional training you need to rearrange your thoughts – you and your business are going to be left in the dust and your people will go elsewhere.
Effective training & education that is intense, regular and repetitive will set you apart from your competition. It become part of your culture. Personal growth of your people will grow your business.
How do you get started? Enrol your people in the upcoming Driven to Lead Program.
