The article discusses issues related to effective organizational training. Dennis Reina, co-founder of the Vermont-based Reina Trust Building institute, says effective training in his institute begins before and continues well after the course concludes. Team participation needs to be emphasized when training is devoted to intangible skills. Steve Cady, associate professor at Bowling Green State University's Organization and Development Program, believes an organization's training is directly linked with the leadership style. Generally, staff members attend a particular training session because they have ordered by supervisor to do so. This creates a management paradox whereby employee enthusiasm for a particular training session is low, staff members do not implement new skills and the manager then blames human resources for not promoting the session well enough. Experts believe that the occasional team building exercise is typically ineffective without regular reinforcement. Sometimes poor communication between management and staff is the source of the problem.
