Growth is a key driver for many employees, especially the generation currently entering the workforce. It is expected by top talent when they are looking for new opportunities and it is a major factor in the decision employees make to stay with a company. High achievers are continuously looking to grow. They want to enhance their skillset so they can take on more responsibility or find ways to improve their performance so they can reach new heights in their current position. The problem is that most managers struggle to effectively help their direct reports on this path.

It decreases turnover, increases productivity, inspires innovation, boosts morale, and ultimately brings more value to the company. But before you begin, find out the answers to these four questions so you can maximize the investment of your money—and more importantly—your time!
