Leadership Training Programs
Sustained organizational growth depends on leadership excellence. Organizations will inevitably struggle without a pool of skilled and motivated individuals ready to take on leadership roles. Ralph Nader said it well: “The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers.” Harvey S. Firestone also recognized the importance of developing people to lead when he said, “The growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership.”
What is Leadership Training?
“Leadership training consists of taking proactive, well-targeted steps to prepare an organization for future success.”
At its core, Leadership Training enables you to develop the leaders you need today and that your organization requires to take advantage of future opportunities. It’s important to emphasize the development aspect of Leadership Training because, according to Vince Lombardi, “Leaders are made, not born.”

Nexstar Case Study
Closing Technician Skills Gaps with Interactive eLearning
Nexstar needed to build competency and skills for residential service technicians across three trade fields – plumbing, electrical, and HVAC.
Together, Allen Interactions and Nexstar identified skill gaps in the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC trades. Nexstar’s distributed technician audience needed eLearning and skill reinforcement through on-the-job training and assessments by training leaders in the field. The custom eLearning solution is engaging, realistic, filled with real-life situations and environments to prepare technicians for their trade, regardless of experience.
After trusting Allen Interactions with their training needs, the company experienced the following solution highlights:
Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC residential home service providers reported overall time to complete was reduced.
The value of learning was immediate and measurable for each learner, with motivation and completion rates towards licensure increasing significantly.
The eLearning solution closed skill gaps by focusing on areas of common mistakes, rare contexts, and application of critical knowledge.

Allen Leadership Training Program Expertise
Our SAVVY program design and development approach is a significant differentiator of Allen Interactions e-Learning Leadership Training programs. Rather than applying an off-the-shelf development template, we typically spend two full days listening to you describe and define everything pertinent to your challenges and needs, such as:
- Training outcomes in terms of employee satisfaction, retention, and productivity
- Workforce development and performance goals
- Infrastructure resources (how we can reach your employees)
- How you will measure, demonstrate, and report success
At Allen Interactions, we design Leadership Training programs not just to teach but also to transform. Our multidisciplinary team customizes each program to match your unique needs, blending technology with creatively tailored content for maximum impact.
We harness the power of immersive technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and gamification to create engaging, interactive learning experiences. Combined with our proven methodologies, these cutting-edge tools ensure your organization successfully develops the leaders you need today and in the future.
Can Leadership Training Programs Help Your Team?
One way to look at Leadership Training is to consider what happens to your organization without a thoughtfully designed and well-executed leadership development program. Without opportunities to acquire the leadership skills needed to advance up the organization, your most talented and motivated employees will seek those opportunities elsewhere. Or, as Henry Ford observed, “The only thing worse than training your employees and having them leave is not training them and having them stay.”
So, leadership training isn’t optional for an organization seeking to grow, fulfill its mission, and deliver on promises to customers, stakeholders, and employees; it’s mandatory.
