Opis

You have just completed a formal feedback experience--perhaps a management development program, performance review, or 360-degree instrument--and through your feedback from superiors, peers, and subordinates you have learned that you have some behaviors that need changing or skills that need development. You've set goals for improvement and your impulse is to start working on them as soon as you can. This guidebook describes three strategies to use as you continue to develop your capacity to lead: seeking challenging assignments at work and away from the job, training for specific skills, and building relationships with people who can support your efforts.

After a formal feedback experience individuals are often enthusiastic about pursuing their development goals but then hesitate because they do not know where to begin. This guidebook shows three strategies that are necessary in any intentional effort to grow: seek challenging assignments, seek training for targeted skills, and seek developmental relationships. Practical advice is given on how to choose the right assignments, identify specific skills that need improving, and establish relationships that will provide ongoing support and encouragement.
