Most organizations say they value professional development.

They talk about it in meetings.

They put it in their values statements.

They mention it in performance reviews.

But when you look closer,

There's no actual strategy.

No clear development plans.

No accountability.

No systematic way to build the next generation of leaders.

Just good intentions. And good intentions don't develop people.

Here's what I see: Organizations that have real development strategies, with teeth, with accountability, with implementation, get dramatically different results:

โœ… Higher engagement (people feel invested in)

โœ… Greater satisfaction (people see a future)

โœ… Stronger contribution (people perform at higher levels)

โœ… More confidence (people know they're growing)

But it requires more than just annual reviews and "professional development conversations."

It requires a system...A Personal Development Plan (PDP) that's not just HR paperwork, but an actual strategic tool.

In this week's newsletter and podcast, I'm breaking down:

๐Ÿ‰ Why most development efforts fail (no strategy, no teeth)๐Ÿ‰What a real PDP looks like (and why it matters)

๐Ÿ‰How development drives engagement, satisfaction, contribution, and confidence

๐Ÿ‰How to make development accountable (for both leaders and candidates)Because development without strategy is just hope.

And hope isn't a plan.
