Summary:
No one will pay as close attention to
your
personal
growth
and development as you will. Whether you're lucky enough to work for an organization that encourages a learning mindset for everyone or whether you're in a place where only a handful of stars get all the heat and light when it comes to
professional
development, you are the best person to create and monitor
your
own curriculum. And increasingly in today's workplaces, you are responsible. Without an HR specialist or a personal coach to
guide
you, how can you assess
your
own strengths and weaknesses, gather and distill meaningful feedback, set goals for yourself beyond
your
job duties, gain the new skills you need to stay relevant and excel, nurture
your
curiosity, and continue to learn, grow, and evolve into
your
best self at work? Whether
your
development plan is vague or clear, you can establish a course to acquire and maintain the skills you'll need to be successful and close the gap between where you are now and where you'd like to be.--From publisher.
