Executive Management Training Classes - Who Needs Them?

As a budding entrepreneur building my own business and on the road to growing it corporate-size, with a background mainly from sales and self-employment, the above question represents my initial attitude to executive management training classes: what I thought was a fancy-shmancy name for truisms and blatantly obvious stuff. However, when I looked into the subject and saw the wealth of solid information that's actually out there - sure, among lots of fluffiness, but even the softer aspects of executive management training consist of skills and points that can be improved if trained effectively - I was gradually convinced that executive management training is an area to be looked into seriously to backup "pure street smarts" with proven tactics and strategies that have been used successfully by other big business leaders before you.

So, what kinds of managers (let's leave out the redundant "executive" part for this time) can benefit from polishing their skills through executive management training classes?

Let's take three examples to illustrate this. I'll present our cases, and then point out how their differing skill requirements can be improved with the right training program:

- "Sam", the store manager/owner of a small, family-sized retail business. - "Kelly", the bureau manager at a media consulting firm, in constant frenzied contact with clients as well as media players in all channels. - "David" The brand manager at a big corporation selling B2B tech, responsible for one or a few of several product brands.

So, for "Sam", what skills are most important? Basic accounting, staffing (recruiting, scheduling as well as training and managing employees), and marketing (including physical product display and personal selling).

As for "Kelly", of course marketing skills will be at center stage. Project management skills will also give her an edge, as well as presentation/selling skills, not to mention PowerPoint software skills.

"David" will need marketing skills (ok, EVERY business person needs marketing as well as sales, there you have it!) but will also gain benefits from solid skills in logistics, manufacturing as well as an acute awareness of cultural differences between various markets.

As illustrated by these examples, we're talking about an immense variety of skills needed for different kinds and levels of managerial roles. My suggestion to you is to take a close look at the job description of your current position as well as the future positions you might be aiming for, and then begin shopping around on the internet as a first stop for valuable information in the areas that you decide to focus on. No need to be unfocused - pick only one type of skill to start with, and begin immersing yourself one step at a time.

There's lots to learn through executive management training classes, and all kinds of media to absorb the information - from personal blogs and articles written by experienced executives, to books, to courses and seminars to attend. I wish you a happy and successful career!
