Behavior Modeling Approach to Management Training

Behavior modeling approach to management training involves trainees imitating exceptional job performance.

Behavior modeling is usually conducted with groups of 20 to 25 supervisors or managers.

Trainees may spend up to 6 hours a week in behavior modeling sessions.

During behavior rehearsal, trainees are asked to play a role different from their actual job duties.

Feedback in behavior modeling helps trainees understand how closely they imitated the model's behaviors.

Behavior modeling focuses on teaching technical skills rather than interpersonal and leadership skills.
