An Investment In Your Leaders and Employees. "Not providing leadership training because of cost is like not having a front door on your home and conducting regular family meetings about your high utility expenses." “Personnel issues are like diapers, when there is a stink, something must be changed. It won’t go away.” “It is the duty of a leader to make every effort to insure the success of others. Training and development are a major step in fulfilling that duty. If you do not see employee development as an important part of leadership, you can not be a successful leader. In most cases, when employees fail, leaders have failed.” "The improvement and development of an organization is limited by the improvement and development of its leadership. How is your leadership improving and developing?" "Not being intentional in leadership development is the equivalent of having a written goal of; “I want to have the same level of knowledge at the end of the year that I have now.”" "Why not use your business to build people as people build your business?" "Recipe for success - 1. Provide all leaders the skills to produce results with others. 2. Hold them accountable. One without the other will not work. ALARMT™ and LeaderMeetings.com will provide number 1. Number 2 is up to you. Responsibility without accountability does not produce a high percentage of success. This is true at every level." "There are over 500,000 monthly internet searches for “Management and Leadership Training”. Successful companies know the value of equipping and developing their leadership team." • Achieving excellent results by yourself with the proper training – Easy. • Achieving excellent results by leading others with the proper training – Difficult but highly possible. • Achieving excellent results by leading others without initial or ongoing training-Difficult, Unfair and Unrealistic. -Greg Gilbert - HR Consultant |

Attendee Comments
These comments were taken from some of the live ALARMT classes.
Note: Everything we provide comes from one main question; "How can we best serve you?"
Of all the positive feedback received from ALARMT, I am most proud of this comment; "Greg, you can record this course on CD or DVD if you want, but "you" are ALARMT. You separate this from "online" training. This course would not be the same without your delivery." - Charles Gowder - Former General Manager of VTCI. (ALARMT was initially created for VTCI.)
Comments from a municipality: The training brought new perspectives and re-enforced ideas on getting the most out of ourselves as managers as well as our employees. It was good to hear that others are facing the same situations with staff as we do. I thoroughly enjoyed the course. It was not boring, it kept my attention. You gave very interesting examples of your past experiences. I can use these in my job. Good information - not only useful in the worksite setting but "day to day" relationships. I don't feel like there was "too much" or "not enough of" anything. The training flowed and information given came from personal experience. This helps seeing what works and what doesn't in things we deal with in our day to day professional life. I will also take with me things to help me in my personal life. Thanks so much Greg - It was great and I think we all have learned so much. We will continue to have discussion when we return to the office. I liked the format. The stories help support issues that we as supervisors face each day. It is true what you said about looking back at ourselves. We can build or tear down with our words. I liked the small group round table. I prefer this way of learning. The training brought new perspectives and re-enforced ideas on getting the most out of ourselves as managers as well as employees. It was good to hear that others are facing the same situations as we do. Comments from various industry: "My company has tried to shift to online training and it is nothing like this. You kept my interest up and I got much more from this class than online. I would have a hard time passing a test after an online class but not yours." "I have not held employees accountable enough. That is about to change. We are all in this together." "I can't think of anything you didn't cover and if I could, I probably won't ever need it." "This information removes all excuses!" "Very practical, to the point, effective principles given, easily understood, a very useful seminar." "Greg, you have given me the tools I can use to be a good supervisor after the class. I know there are some things I need to change my perspective on. You were good @ explaining the "whys" and it was not boring! That's a plus!" "I liked this class as well as the attendance class. Please send me info on other classes. Also, I would like to send some of my supervisors to these classes. I really like the "true stories" you tell in the class. It makes the information REAL! A good well-rounded class." "Enjoyed the class. There have been several changes at a work site and the things we went over is (sic) are deviations. It was good to hear your experiences and to see the direction I must go." "Good practical real world examples. It's good to hear about employee issues outside of your company and see that your issues are not dissimilar." "The smaller class size & the real life situations can hit home better than "text Book" situations. I have learned a lot that can give me the potential to be a better leader. Much better than online training." "The class is a very good class. Some of the things you went over is what I have already experienced." "I believe the whole class was positive! Leave everything as is. Thank you very much, it was very insightful." "Enjoyable presentation! Very pleased with the less formal approach and open discussion format. Enjoyed real-life examples as well." "I wish this was recorded. There were so many things covered it was hard to keep up." "Something for everyone, not just new supervisors!" "This contained things that applied to life in addition to my job." "Wealth of information. Picked up many things I can implement immediately. It's like 20-30 experienced managers giving you their best stuff, the things that work!!" "So many things you don't think of. I sure wish I'd had the draft folder advice last month. It would have saved me a regret." "Clearly denotes the importance of consistency as it relates to following policies." "If you are in a leadership position, you need this class for life applications also." "I appreciated hearing real life experiences. Thank you for the information on the importance of maintaining meeting posture." "I thought the workshop was very informative. The information shared made sense. I can see if this information is utilized we can have a successful workforce." "The "Bucket Story" alone was worth the entire day. I needed to hear that. I have my priorities out of order." My favorite feedback sheet just had "TIGS" in large letters and "This Is Good Stuff" in very small letters.
