People are more likely to stay at organizations with cultures that support growth and development.

But many people struggle with the <em>how<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Do I Help My Staff Develop a New Skill?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At TMC, we advise leaders to use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.managementcenter.org\/resources\/conspire-and-align\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">conspire-and-align approach<\/a>. Staff learning and development isn\u2019t just about setting aside a few professional development days each year or a one-time plan; it\u2019s about setting learning goals each year and supporting staff to meet them over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People learn best when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>There\u2019s a clear purpose and application for the skill (an immediate usefulness or horizon)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They have support\u2014and a plan\u2014to build on strengths, stretch, and grow<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They can practice consistently<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As a manager, you work with your staff person to identify the growth area. Then, you break it down. You make a plan to develop the skill, including how you\u2019ll support their learning. Then, they practice and apply the skill, with your feedback and coaching along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Learning a New Skill: Step-by-Step Guide<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the three main steps you can take to help staff identify and develop a new skill:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Get Aligned on a Growth Area<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What skill(s) would level up what they can achieve in their role? What would help them go from good to <em>great<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surface these growth areas through your own direct observations and their self-reflection. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.managementcenter.org\/resources\/7-tips-making-most-your-check-ins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Check-ins<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.managementcenter.org\/resources\/2x2-feedback-form\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2&#215;2 feedback<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.managementcenter.org\/resources\/debriefing-template\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">debriefs<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.managementcenter.org\/resources\/stay-conversation-agenda\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stay conversations<\/a> are great places to start these staff development conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are other questions you can ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Is there an area where you (or they) consistently spot room for improvement?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thinking about their career trajectory, what other opportunities might they eventually be interested in, and what skills do they need to get there?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In these conversations, be direct about the growth area, share why it\u2019s important, and seek their perspective. Here\u2019s what this might sound like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You\u2019ve been doing good work with our partner organizations. You\u2019re good at facilitating meetings, and I think you could be great at guiding people through trickier, high-stakes conversations with more practice and resources. What do you think about that?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Name the Skill and Break It Down<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019re generally aligned on the growth area, name the specific skill you\u2019re helping your staff learn. Then, break it down further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a breakdown of the skills a staff member needs for great meeting facilitation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Preparation and planning: <\/strong>Setting objectives, creating an agenda, and managing logistics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Active listening and communication: <\/strong>Engaging with participants, summarizing key points, and helping everyone feel heard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Time and process management:<\/strong> Keeping the meeting on track, managing time, and guiding the group through the agenda.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Encouraging participation and managing group dynamics:<\/strong> Getting balanced input, managing dominant voices, establishing group agreements, and fostering a collaborative environment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Decision-making and action planning: <\/strong>Helping the group reach decisions using a consistent process, clarifying next steps, and identifying action items.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Make a Plan<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve decided what skill to work on, treat it like a project with a goal and a plan. Get <a href=\"https:\/\/www.managementcenter.org\/resources\/how-to-make-the-implicit-explicit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">aligned on your expectations<\/a> and invite their perspectives as you define success. Use our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.managementcenter.org\/resources\/delegation-worksheet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5 Ws delegation worksheet<\/a> as a guide. Here\u2019s a high-level snapshot of what that could look like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>What success looks like:<\/strong> [Staff member] develops stronger meeting facilitation skills, especially around preparation and planning, managing group dynamics, and decision-making.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Why: <\/strong>Stronger facilitation will help our partners collaborate more effectively and make key decisions faster.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>When: <\/strong>By end of Q2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Where to get support or resources: <\/strong>Collaborate with [name of colleague] on three upcoming meetings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Can I Help My Staff Practice New Skills?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Two tools we recommend to build staff skills are stretch assignments and the \u201cI do, we do, you do\u201d method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Test the Learning: Stretch Assignments<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A stretch assignment allows someone to practice new skills by dialing up the stakes, volume, or complexity of a responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you give a stretch assignment, share how you think it will help the person grow. Why is it immediately useful in their role or the work? How will it help them prepare for an opportunity? Offer support and ask what they need to be successful. For example, you can say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I\u2019d like you to own facilitating meetings for our local advisory committee. I think it\u2019ll strengthen group cohesion and relationship-building since you already support these organizations individually. I think it\u2019s a challenge you\u2019re ready for.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>What do you think? What support do you need from me?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Scaffolding Approach: \u201cI Do, We Do, You Do\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI Do, We Do, You Do\u201d ramps up learning through a series of steps, each with increasing responsibility. The method <strong>builds confidence and competence progressively. <\/strong>Here\u2019s an example of how it works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>I do<\/strong><\/td><td>Model the skill and have the person observe you. Then, debrief it.<\/td><td>Jori observes their manager, Nicolas, facilitating a complex, high-stakes meeting with partners. In the debrief, Nicolas invites Jori to break down what they saw Nicolas doing. Nicolas offers his perspective and shares the rationale for the choices he made in the meeting.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>We do<\/strong><\/td><td>Have the other person do the task with you and then debrief<\/td><td>Nicolas and Jori co-facilitate the next meeting. They co-design the agenda and divide up facilitation. After, they debrief. Nicolas shares feedback on Jori\u2019s facilitation.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>You do<\/strong><\/td><td>Have them do it on their own and then\u2013you guessed it\u2013debrief!<\/td><td>Jori facilitates a meeting, with Nicolas observing. Afterwards, Jori reflects on what they learned, what they were proud of, and what they\u2019d do differently next time.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>By starting with modeling, the learner can see the skill in action. Practicing the skill together provides a safe space for practice and guidance. The final step of independent execution reinforces autonomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.managementcenter.org\/resources\/debriefing-template\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">debriefs<\/a> at each stage ensures the learner reflects on their progress, identifies growth areas, and gets actionable feedback. This approach develops skills and builds a culture of trust and collaboration between manager and staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Putting Staff Development Plans into Practice<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Developing a new skill takes time. Developing a new skill in someone else takes intention. As a manager, staff development can be one of the more exciting parts of your job. In our experience, you will learn a lot, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want more support developing your staff?
