Training
In today's global environment, training is an essential component for overall development. Organizations now require a diverse skill set in order to handle multiple tasks and obligations. As such, adequate training will become a more integral part of an individual's career development. Training methods however have come under intense scrutiny. Corporations and individuals are now becoming more skeptical regarding training methods and there apparent benefits. Training has now developed from a more lecture-based curriculum to that of a more hands on program. This shift, I believe is warranted given the diverse workforce within society. As globalization begins to spread around the world, diverse training methods will be needed to overcome the varying needs of employees and businesses. As such, the lecture method of traditional training programs is becoming antiquated as more innovative solutions emerge

The benefits of using this traditional approach are financial in nature. Lectures are using the cheapest medium to present large amounts of information in an efficient manner. The way one form of communication allows a massive audience to gain exposure to the same amount of information all at once. A negative aspect of this training is that it easy to become occupied with other activities if the audience is not actively engaged. Due in parts to the information age, consumers want information in a concise and entertaining manner. Lectures, particular those that are long, may fail to hold the audiences attention for long durations of time. As such, the intended purpose of the lecture may become lost as trainees lose their focus on the information being provided. As such, new techniques that actively engage all participants are now becoming more ubiquitous. It is my belief that lectures in a traditional sense are now becoming less effective than they once were. The information age has eroded many advantages of the traditional lecture. Audiences now want short, clear,…

Global Leadership • Define global leadership Global leaders are born and then made for the reason; since the full potential of an individual can't be realized until they are provided with an opportunity and regular training (Gregersen et al.,1998). In order to survive in this competitive world, the global organizations have to face increased challenges and competition for which the success demands the corporate top manager's best performance.

Global Mindsets Importance of the Global Mindset I agree with the assertion made by Cohen that possessing a global mindset is a key and integral part to being successful in business, particularly if global expansion is an organizational goal or aspiration. To be successful in today's marketplace, leaders must understand that the world is no longer made up of only local/regional/national customers and competitors. It has been shaped by the digitized age

Employee development and training is an alternate zone. In the IT business, training is not simply about recognizing training needs and giving the presupposed training, but anticipating and reckoning the necessities and advancing suitable training to equip employees so that they can handle the challenges. Another serious challenge is the way businesses have the ability to fuse all the sub-systems in HR and help them in accomplishing a definitive objective:

(Osten, 2001) In terms of strategic planning for technology it is important to comprehend that integration of technology is very complex and requires "investments to plan for the alignment of technology initiatives" with the company's mission. The starting point is gaining the involvement of stakeholders through having them assist with assessment of the current technology and strategy for which direction to take with new technology. This could mean that there is
