The most important aspect of development planning is engaging in meaningful discussions with employees. Managers often struggle with how to have this conversation, and which questions to ask. This guide assists managers in identifying their employee’s development persona, and then provides a list of tailored questions to ask each type of employee in order to derive the most benefit from the conversation.

Additional highlights of the guide include:

  • Quick tips for effective development planning for each persona, including employee potential, manager mandate, and preparing for the action planning discussion.
  • Advice on how much control to give each persona and what role stakeholders play in development for the different personas.

This guide is meant to be used to assess one employee at a time using the descriptions on the Employee Assessment tab.
