Interesting Leadership Training from Big Companies

As we have discussed in a previous blog post, one of the most important aspects of all great leaders is their desire to continually learn and therefore, to grow. 

There was an interesting article in the Wall Street Journal today titled, “Building Middle-Manager Morale“.

I think it’s interesting these big companies are recognizing the importance of training, leadership development and increasing morale among their managers.

Companies like Google, General Electric and Goldman Sachs are among those who have taken a vested interest in helping their managers develop the skills they need to be successful. They offer various programs like leadership development training, coaching sessions, educational workshops and mentorship programs to help them become great leaders

So, how often do you or your employees learn something new? Do you have a growth plan and training?
