Self-Improvement Process

“Although it seems like a small gesture, leaders who ask employees
to be actively involved in the creation of their personal
development plans show these employees that their opinions matter
and that they are at least partially responsible for ensuring that
their careers are challenging and meaningful.
Sharing responsibility with employees in this way also frees leaders
up from acting as enforcers who drag unwilling employees down
career paths that they had no hand in designing.”
