Description
Viva Books - Originals The TrainerS toolkit by V K Sharma
India today needs effective training on a massive scale. A lot of training is going on to equip our unemployed for some vocation or to encash our demographic dividend, and of course in the corporate world and among the civic agencies – the NGOs. However, the issue is as to how much of it is effective in terms of the training sessions leading to results on the field – results in the shape of ability to consistently turn out a quality output and provide near-perfect performance. Another aspect of the results is the investment needed in terms of time taken to acquire that ability, number of accidents that may happen injuring the learner in the process or the extent of wastage of materials. This book is aimed at promoting the effectiveness of training endeavours in whatever field. Learning of involved methodology by the trainers will be easy from case studies that the author in his four-decades-plus career span has actually found to be effective in practice. The case studies written give adequate ‘to-do’ guidelines to implement that methodology when the need arises. The kit also serves as an introduction to three areas (coaching, assessment of competencies and leadership) that the trainer may not be fully conversant with. He can update himself on the latest broad outlines here and then seek professional help if he chooses to introduce the subject.
