Managers often see personal development reviews as a bureaucratic exercise. What's more, they don't know how to sit down with a member of their team to discuss their personal aspirations and what they want from their job. This leads to meaningless objectives written on Personal Development Plans.
Agreeing Development Objectives illustrates how to help someone think through their plans and aspirations. It demonstrates how to discuss an individual's motivations, so that they become engaged in a meaningful discussion. Using a range of scenarios, the programme shows that not everyone wants the same thing from their working life. And by helping someone to think properly about what they want to achieve, your managers can help their people to develop personal development plans that address both the individual's goals and the interests of your organisation.
Managers learn to 'A.I.M.' for effective development:
- Aspirations: find out what the learner wants from their job
- Interests: ensure that the objective is aligned to needs of your organisation
- Measurable: evaluate the outcome
