These leadership skills training needs were compiled through the survey responses of 3247 knowledge workers and professionals from around the world.
Respondents were asked to identify their leadership skills training preferences according to their need to face 5 common workplace challenges. "We wanted to learn what content real employees, managers and directors thought they needed from leadership skills training courses. We feel confident that their responses reflect their honest opinions about leadership skills training courses", says Bill Thomas, Managing Principal, of Mustard Seed Investments, Inc.
"Entrepreneurs, analysts, CEOs and CFOs, IT and computer specialists, HR managers, educators and consultants, manufacturing supervisors, engineers, sales and account support personnel, healthcare and financial planning services professionals and many more job classifications participated in our survey", reports Mr. Thomas.
