Into the Hands of Leaders:
Employee Growth through Learning
In our fast-changing world, we face a tension between short-term results and long-term growth. Traditional training programs often fail to equip teams with the skills to innovate and adapt, widening skill gaps and increasing employee disengagement. This book, Into the Hands of Leaders: Employee Growth through Learning, argues that fostering a culture of continuous learning is crucial for long-term success in a complex business environment. It emphasizes the importance of leaders cultivating a Growth through Learning orientation and offers a fresh perspective on employee development.
Growth through Learning:
Leadership Conversations for Employee Development
Where does employee development belong in an organization? Achieving results is always the focus of leaders, employees, and organizations. However, a focus that prioritizes getting things done at the expense of other goals, leads to short-term gains and compromises long-term growth.
Welcome to Growth through Learning – a 6-part series that bridges the gap between formal training and learning that’s embedded in the DNA of teams. We’ll ask the big questions to uncover the importance of anchoring employee learning and into the hands of leaders so organizations, teams and employees grow.
Organizations that grow, grow their people. And people grow when they’re learning on the job with their team and from their leader.
