Description
Here's the basic primer on how to grow the 'right people who are already on the bus' in your organization. This new book intends to empower training and development leaders with the necessary tools and understanding to become catalysts for brining a career development focus to their organizations by implementing three success factors: making career development part of the strategic planning process and extend it across organizational boundaries, sustain the career development focus regardless of budget, economic, and short-term profit goals, and finally, rewarding managers and leaders who help others reach their goals.
