What will you do differently this week to stretch yourself with new roles or responsibilities – practical experiences that will speed your development?
Our research says:
Top performers are looking to stretch themselves with new roles and responsibilities—practical experiences that will, by nature of the work, increase their learning and speed their development. As one top performer put it, “I learn on the job by taking on challenges that help me grow.”
Top performers seek additional opportunities to practice new skills by assisting other teams on an ad hoc basis twice as frequently as typical performers. And, in looking for a new assignment, 47 percent of top performers are looking for more responsibility and an opportunity toward promotion, while just 38 percent of typical performers state this intention. Top performers look for the opportunity to do something different, and are likely to look for a chance to increase their specialization.
