Introduction

The time-honored tradition of defining career development exclusively in terms of promotions, moves, and title changes is dead. Beyond, between, and besides the climb up the positional ladder, there are many other ways that employees can—and want to—grow. This episode explores some of those alternative ways to grow, the important role managers play in guiding that growth, and organizational executives should think differently about career and talent development.
