I talked about reinvention earlier this week. Well, today’s my day to add more to the conversation at Rosa Say’s Talking Story. The title of my post is Let’s Reinvent Professional Development in Our Organizations. Based on my experience, professional development is treated like a job perk, rather
than as a systemic part of the organization’s greater purpose of
growing its business and its people. In my post, I advocate for a new way of thinking and put out a new term to consider.
So, what are you waiting for? Go and visit Talking Story.
If you’ve never been to Talking Story, take some time to explore Rosa’s blog and discover some wonderful ways to reinvent the relationship between manager and employee. Then do yourself a big favor and buy her book, Managing with Aloha. You’ll not find a more soulful and passionate advocate for artful management out there. Mahalo nui Rosa for your friendship and mentoring.
Jay, it's always a treat and honor to connect with Talking Story and Rosa's audience. I think companies can view professional development from a place of fear; that they will development their employees only to see them move on to another company. In simple economics, it's no longer a good investment. In order to help organizations embrace a culture of livelihood learning, it's important that we understand how to speak the language of business leaders. We'll need to search for was to use familiar terms like ROI and investment but frame the conversation around the people who comprise the soul of the organization. Lots more here to explore for sure. Thanks for your warm words and comments.
