Key Points People often separate their career goals from the personal development goals, and it doesn’t have to be that way. Leaders often have a quick chat and then leave the conversation without actually making any deep connections. We often don’t ask a question and leave it enough time to breathe. Employees get lots of feedback, but it’s often not helpful feedback. Think about feedback as a diagnostic tool. Leaders no longer need to be the problem solvers — they need to help make space for others to solve problems. Employees are looking for emotional transparency.
