So obviously the military is committed to development. But reading your experience is more relatable to our banking readers. So thank you for sharing!<br /><br />~ JeffJeff Marsicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12153599647481141591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235433516644980443.post-21308124359094486812019-03-02T14:00:36.447-05:002019-03-02T14:00:36.447-05:00Jeff -- I spent five years with Deloitte in their ...Jeff -- I spent five years with Deloitte in their consulting group, and it was an amazing experience. They spent a lot of energy on developing people. They recruited based upon traits and cultural fit, knowing they could develop the rest of the stuff. Part of the process was a quarterly Personal Development Assessment. It sounds like a fancy word for a job review, but it was really a structured discussion about skill set, gaps and what the firm could do to help you advance. It started with a self-assessment, which removed a lot of burden on the person I reported to. I remember being very nervous about my first review (and all reviews were normally done off-site, to get out of the office). But after I figured out they were trying to develop me, and not review me, I looked forward to them. Now, I understand a professional services firm might not be the same as a bank, but so many of the concepts of developing staff are still relevant. It takes a huge commitment, some structure for consistency, and a hammer to make sure it is executed upon -- have to walk the talk. My experience, anyway.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07875534656340044646noreply@blogger.com
