Description
Kaye, a speaker, writer, and developer of learning tools who is associated with a company that specializes in engagement, retention, and development, and Giulioni, a consultant in an instructional design firm specializing in leadership, sales, and customer service, identify three types of conversations managers can have with employees that can help them develop their careers: hindsight conversations to help them look backward and inward to determine who they are, where they've been, what they love, and where they excel; foresight conversations that keep them looking forward and outward toward changes, trends, and the big picture; and leveraging insights from the two. Each chapter includes questions and ideas for conversations, and the final chapter explains how to embed development into everyday life through awareness and fluid conversation strategies.

Beverly Kaye, coauthor of the bestselling Love ’Em or Lose ’Em, and Julie Winkle Giulioni identify three broad types of conversations that will increase employees’ awareness of their strengths, weaknesses, and interests; point out where their organization and their industry are headed; and help them pull all of that together to design their own up-to-the-minute, personalized career plans.Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go is filled with practical tips, guidelines, and templates, as well as nearly a hundred suggested conversation questions.
