Having development conversations

Organizations use many strategies to develop high potentials. And the most important starting place, is the Development Conversation. It can be tempting for managers to have this conversation once or twice a year, but especially for high potentials, this should be a frequent and ongoing conversation. The purpose is to align high potentials career aspirations with the career direction the organization envisions for them. This is the time to make sure that a plan is in place to make progress towards the development goals that were identified.

Hopefully a detailed development plan was built as the result of a talent review or succession planning process. The skills and experiences to help this individual prepare to take on a new role were most likely identified. But, what do they think of them? What do they see as their strengths and opportunities for improvement. The first step is for the manager and individual to get on the same page. High potentials will have a point of view about what experiences.
