Training employees for promotion creates excitement about their future. I trained salespeople to be managers and it elevated their engagement and enthusiasm to be working for our organization.
Everyone loves support. When you go the next step of preparing their future, they not only feel included but they feel more secure. It tells them you value them and want them to participate in achieving organization goals for a long time.
It creates additional incentive to engage in personal development practices. Learning leadership skills include communications, executive presence, decisiveness, and emotional intelligence. Anyone's career is elevated with these skills.
An organization committed to creating its own leaders is also attractive to outside talent. Everyone wants a positive environment where organizations believe in its people first. I have worked where competing organizations have different styles.
One praised internal competition and one promoted the fact all its people were equal in the eyes of leadership. Both trained for skills, but the organization that praised the value of its people over praise only for production had the stronger culture and attracted the best people.
We want work to be a valuable part of our life not just a place we hit the time clocks. When we are supported to fulfill our potential, we have a partner in our future. We want to live purposeful lives and becoming our best selves through the support of our leaders makes us evangelists for our services, products, and leaders.
Begin your own personal development by engaging in personal development practices, leadership skills, and entrepreneurial thinking. Be a continuous learner. Network vertically and externally. Your career will blossom.
