Most of us want to support the careers of the people we lead.

In fact, most leaders recognize that if they don't do that, people will seek opportunities elsewhere.

But a lot of us haven't had much direction on how to do this beyond asking cliche questions like,

where do you see yourself in five years?

After hearing this episode

you'll know exactly where to start with career conversations. This is coaching for leaders episode 370.

Greetings to you from Orange County, California.

This is coaching for leaders, and I'm'm your host Dave Stahoviac.

Leaders aren't born, they're made, and this weekly show gives you access to the practical

wisdom that will empower you to become a better leader.

Many of us have as leaders have heard that we should be having career conversations

with our employees. And yet this is one of those things going back to leaders aren't

born they're made that most of us have not received any kind of formal training on

if we have it's been little bits and pieces or we've

picked up some ideas from others but most organizations don't do this well and so I

guest who I think has a model that is really helpful for leaders in fact we have a

few people in our academy who have latched on this

model and are utilizing it. And I think you're going to find this model really helpful too.
