DES MOINES, IOWA (PRWEB) JANUARY 9, 2017

Prositions, a leading training content producer and distributor, announced today the release of the LEAD NOW! Mini-Video Library, featuring 22 mini-video modules. This new release is based on the best-selling books by leadership experts and authors John Parker Stewart and Daniel Stewart. The LEAD NOW! Mini-Video Library incorporates a brand new instructional design that allows time-starved training professionals and learners to rapidly access content in convenient formats and delivery methods. The program also includes downloadable digital training materials, like development plans, leader’s guides, experiential exercises, and participant worksheets.

“We are excited that our leadership program is now available in this new format – it just makes sense for how people learn today,” said John Parker Stewart, Founder and CEO at Stewart Leadership. “This new mini-video library, in conjunction with the other LEAD NOW! materials, creates one of the most comprehensive and flexible leadership development programs available in the market.”

Created with the time-starved learner in mind, each module is only 6 to 8 minutes in length and can be delivered in almost any way a learner prefers. Segments can be shown to groups in classroom training, used as eLearning courses for self-paced development, or hosted as a performance support tool to be accessed at the exact moment a user wants a quick tutorial or refresher. This library also contains hundreds of effective tips and tools organized into 21 leadership dimensions/competencies.

“YouTube and Google have changed the way employees learn on and off the job,” explained Frank Russell, CEO at Prositions, Inc. “LEAD NOW! was a perfect fit for our new approach to learning because John and Daniel designed the content in short digestible chunks for busy leaders and training professionals.” Russell continued, “We’ve designed it so today’s learners can even access this content by smartphone or audio podcast while exercising or driving. There’s nothing quite like it in the marketplace!”

The LEAD NOW! Leadership Development Model is based on 50 years of collective management and leadership coaching experience with Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and other small to medium organizations. The simple, but comprehensive, training program is built on research from over 8,000 surveys collected from executives, managers, supervisors, and employees who were asked about their perceptions of the most important and critical behaviors of an ideal leader. The LEAD NOW! Mini-Video Library and flexible delivery model are proving to be a winning combination for leadership development because it fits the needs of today’s fast-paced organizations and learners.

Come Gather ‘Round People…. The Generational Change

Generational Changes Created by: ELearning!

By Frank Russell

If you were a child of the ’60s, you probably recognize the beginning words of this Bob Dylan song that became a battle cry for generational change. Indeed, the quote, “Don’t trust anyone over 30!” was also coined during this turbulent era. I believe we are on the cusp of another generational transformation that could be even more profound. Today, the largest age group in America is 22 years old, which means the youngest workers are just beginning to enter the workforce. Many organizations are ill-equipped to manage Millennials, and older workers are delaying retirement while struggling to transfer knowledge to this younger workforce. These demographic changes mean new approaches are needed for mentoring and talent development systems.

Research has shown that effective mentoring programs can yield significant ROI for organizations. However, traditional programs have encountered serious roadblocks for the following reasons:

>> They are challenging to set up and administer.

>> It’s difficult to manually match up the best mentors with mentees.

>> It’s time consuming and inconvenient for busy participants to meet.

>> And often, because of costs, they only reach the top level of employees.

Fortunately, technologies such as mobile apps, social collaboration and virtual mentoring tools are changing the way organizations provide this necessary capability.

These new technologies:

>> Make coaching programs easier to implement and manage;

>> Provide auto match-up features to link the best mentors with mentees;

>> Use a variety of synchronous and asynchronous communication features for convenience and global reach; and

>> Significantly reduce costs, enabling more employees to participate and benefit.

As a bonus, these technologies can also help bridge the communication gap between the generations.

The traditional coaching model, which usually pairs an experienced senior executive with a junior employee, is typically one way, top-down. However, as coaching consultants, we’ve observed that mentors can actually learn a great deal from their mentees as well. This “reverse mentoring” process allows senior coaches to gain valuable insights from new employees who have grown up with social media and mobile apps.

The most significant productivity gains, however, come from systems that are set up for “democratized mentoring,” where anyone who has knowledge or expertise in an organization can contribute, collaborate and share with others.

Studies are now showing that these new social approaches can provide a number of additional benefits to organizations, including:

>> Increasing an employee’s speed to competence;

>> Finding and enabling hidden talent;

>> Providing a global platform for employees to collaborate; and

>> Improving employee retention and engagement.

While not a panacea for all mentoring challenges, social collaboration, combined with virtual coaching tools, certainly can reduce many of the problems that once existed for traditional mentoring programs.

Most importantly, these new tools and approaches can break down some of the bureaucratic barriers that continue to support glass ceilings and perpetuate exclusions for many groups. It can bridge the generation gap, as Millennials and Boomers help to develop each other, and embrace the title of Dylan’s song, “For the Times They Are a’ Changin’”!
