There are so many more support and training programs available now then ever before. As directors we need to be up to speed on eveything so we can direct our new directors to take advantage of everything they can for themselves and in training their new teams.
When I became a director a long time ago- we had to initiate our own local new consultant training and there was only a New Director Training offered at National Conference and Leadership. A far cry from now.

I went to New Director Academy and loved it! It gives the basics that you need as a new director and gave me something to work on and then ask questions of my director. It is a great springboard!

I agree. When I have a new director I will highly suggest they attend that training (I did and thought it helped a lot). I would also be sure to give them pointers on what to watch for. I train my FD's to be responsible for their downline along side me from the start and we talk about the different aspects of the meeting and if they are local they help with my meetings so I feel (hope) they will be ready to go when they promote. If they are local they will be welcome to combine their meetings with me if they wish but I think it makes their team see them as their leader if they break off to their own meetings (most of the time) and only have occasional joint meetings.

That will be decided once I actually have directors on my team.:p

I would tend to wait to break off my directors, when I get them, because I want to be able to recognize THEM in front of their clusters!

If my new directors want to go out on their own it would absolutely be after we had a big deal recognition in the larger group - in fact if they planned to stay with the larger group it would be a big deal woo hoo!
