Leadership Excellence for Trainers

Trainers are supposed to be leaders ␣

Leaders require the 3 F’s: Fantastic, Future, Follower ␣

Leading trainers need to constantly adjust their targets (“AIMS”) in order to cope with the fast changing
environment ␣

AIMS is not only a synonym for “targets” but also an acronym for the 4 ingredients of successful

Like it or not, trainers are leaders – leading individuals, groups or even complete organizations towards better personal and corporate performances. Hence, trainers should claim this leadership and act accordingly. Here are some tips how to succeed as trainer and leader by focusing on the right attitude and the right actions.

As for the attitude, leaders require the 3 F’s: Fantastic, Future, and Follower.
Leaders are fantastic since they are charismatic, energetic, neat in appearance and full of positivism. Leaders praise others for success while analyzing themselves in case of defeats.

A leader comments “a lousy job done” as “this could be done better”.
Leaders are future oriented. They don’t look back or lament on past mishaps, since the future is bright with a clear vision at the horizon.
