For Bulk Orders Call: 626-441-2024  Description and Reviews From The Publisher: The new edition of the bestselling employee development classic includes advice on engagement and retention in today's more flexible employment environment and a new chapter on creating a career development culture in your organization. Study after study confirms that career development is the single most powerful tool managers have for driving retention, engagement, productivity, and results. But most managers feel they just don't have time for it. This book offers a better way: frequent, short conversations with employees about themselves, their goals, and the business that can be integrated seamlessly into the normal course of business. Beverly Kaye 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 create forward momentum. And the new chapter includes an assessment so you can measure how well your current culture supports development--and how to improve it. Reviews “Filled with great examples, questions, and real-world approaches that fit into the workflow, this book brings a much-needed simplicity and personal touch back to career development.” —David Rodriguez, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, Marriott International “Employees crave authentic conversations about their careers. Too frequently, managers shy away or simply don’t make the time. Bev and Julie remind us that it can be as simple as asking good questions—and they show us how with tips, examples, and suggestions that build confidence and competence.” —Louise Keefe, Global Senior Leader, Organization Effectiveness, Eaton “Every manager will find this short book to be long on practical ways to make career development happen.” —Jack Zenger, CEO, Zenger Folkman, and coauthor of the bestselling The Extraordinary Leader and The Extraordinary Coach “This book is an essential manual for managers and mentors who want to achieve success.
