Part 1

The perfect training program would be able to address every training need if we lived in a perfect world. Nevertheless, the constraints must be taken into account when designing the training (Blanchard & Thacker, 2019). The discussion here will take place assuming a number of employees were promoted to supervisory positions and now need to undergo a 4-hour leadership development course. Their supervisory skills are untrained. There are a number of KSAs that need to be implemented based on the needs analysis. In order to develop training objectives, specific KSAs that were shown to be deficient would be considered. As part of these objectives, we would describe what KSA improvement will be achieved through the training (Blanchard & Thacker, 2019).

In determining what training objectives should be, the TNA is crucial. By integrating the results of the organization, operation, and person analyses, you have identified relevant performance gaps that need to be addressed by training as well as the KSAs that are driving those gaps (Blanchard & Thacker, 2019). Learning objectives describe the type of behavior that shows learning has occurred, the conditions under which it happens, and the criteria for determining when learning has reached the required level. Training in leadership development will address two learning objectives. 1. By observing the role-playing of a fellow trainee, the employee will be able to describe in writing what type of personality is being exhibited and how to motivate that trainee (Blanchard & Thacker, 2019). 2. Explain the importance of five things that are required for an effective team (Blanchard & Thacker, 2019).

Business simulations are extremely important to the leadership development process. A business simulation provides participants with the opportunity to make tough decisions without the risk of real-world consequences. By studying the cause and effect of different factors in a business, they can see how they affect each other; in essence, this is experiential learning. Training and development in leadership requires real-time feedback, as participants benefit greatly from immediate action and reporting
