CHAPTER 7 BUILDING A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM

Once you have done so, design a training program that will
instill all these things on a regular basis. You cannot expect
to train them once and hope that it would last a lifetime.

For example, in Adam Khoo Learning Technologies Group,
all my trainers are put through over 120 hours of training
in my unique teaching methodology, presentation skills, child/
teen psychology and the AKLTG winning culture. They are
taught that as an AKLTG trainer, they must follow the
principles of 1) Integrity, 2) Innovation, 3) Excellence, 4)
Responsibility, 5) Passion and 6) Team synergy and 6) Open
& Honest Communication.

Besides this, always set aside a certain budget every year to
send your staff (especially those in leadership positions) to
attend seminars and training programs that will continually
keep them updated on the latest industry trends and to further
develop their skills. All this will eventually lead more value
being created in your company.

Don’t think that you can wait until you are a multi-million
dollar business before sending your people for training, Start
as early as you can! This has been one of the key secrets to
our company’s success. Even when we were just starting out
(in our first two years), we invested money sending our trainers
and salespeople to top education seminars, conferences and
programs in the United States and Amsterdam.

Only the very top directors and heads of divisions from the
Ministry of Education (Singapore) are sent to such events.
Although each person cost us about $7000-$8000, the cutting
edge educational approaches they brought back to our
company has allowed us to remain at the cutting edge and
