Why career development isn’t happening?

Career conversations

Not enough time

Project status quo Why bother … they will just leave

Not my job It’s the employees job

It sets unrealistic expectations Big expectations = big disappointment

Only for high potentials Only this gives a significant return on the

development you invest

Cultivate curiosityYou do not need to have all answers, but

you must have questions

Career conversations

− I am comfortable entering the

conversation not knowing how it will turn

out

− I can suspend judgment and skepticism

− I expect to be surprised when I talk with

others

− I can suspend my need to fix situations

and solve problems

− I am sincerely interested in what most

people have to say

− I believe there is no shame in admitting I

do not understand something

− I ask questions without having a right

answer in mind

− I am energized by founding out what

makes others tick

− I am motivated to dig deeper when I

sense hesitancy

− I enjoy learning things about people that I

didn’t know before

− I am comfortably following someone

else’s lead in a conversation

− I believe that people are interesting and

complex
