Not Happy With Your Career Development? Get Scrappy

In today's rapidly evolving workplace, traditional approaches to career growth can no longer deliver the professional development that many employees crave and demand. Shrinking budgets, limited promotions, and moves. Dramatically evolving skill gaps. Fewer formal learning opportunities. Stretched-to-the-limit managers who lack visibility to their remote and hybrid workforces. Is this a recipe for the end of career development?
Not in the least! In fact, it’s a recipe for a more vibrant, meaningful, and personally satisfying approach as current conditions conspire to underscore what we’ve known for some time: responsibility ultimately rests on individuals to drive their own growth. Driving development today means adopting a "scrappy" style—using what's available and within a person’s sphere of influence, enriching their current roles, getting creative, and wringing every ounce of development from routine activity. No promotions or training programs? No problem – and no reason to be unhappy. Just get scrappy.
We had the first airport bookstore sighting of Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go! And we're in pretty good company there with Daniel Pink, Kim Scott, Patrick Lencioni, and Barack Obama. Thank you to Berrett-Koehler Publishers for having so much faith in - and making such a commitment to - our book! If you see Help Them Grow in your travels, snap a picture and share, I would love to see it!
