Ideas for Investing in Your Teams Professional Development8By Cory Miller CoryMiller.com
1. Give them a challenging project or goal Something that stretches them, something you see them being able to tackle (even if they dont see it for themselves but add values to the organization
2. Buy them books Ask their preference print, digital or Audible Sometimes I push books on others and see how they respond will they read it? Is it something we talk about later?
3. Let them learn on the clock This isnt 40 hours of straight learning . but could you offer 2 hours on a slow day to watch a webinar, read a book or the other tips here?
4. Send them to a training or conference Again something that stretches them, or in their interest area but also add values to your team/organization?
5. Devote time to mentor/coach them personally Granted this is tough. It takes time and energy. But a CEO offering to personally take time out to even talk to a person not directly reporting to them is GOLD.
6. Ask someone on your team to mentor/coach them Again takes time and energy away from another team member but promotes cross-team collaboration and solidifies the Learn and Grow, Teach and Share core value
7. Hire a coach I did this for several years and the impact was huge.
8. Offer a mini-sabbatical Especially with creatives what if you said Hey, take Friday and go to a museum or coffee shop and read It doesnt have to be months it could be hours, or a day, every so often.
