Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go

Career Conversations Organizations Need and Employees Want

By: Beverly Kaye, Julie Winkle Giulioni

Narrated by: Natalie Hoyt

The new edition of the best-selling employee development classic includes advice on talent retention in the gig economy and a new chapter on creating a career-development culture in your organization.

Study after study confirms that career development is the single most powerful tool managers have for driving retention, engagement, productivity, and results. But most managers feel like they just don't have time for more meetings. This audiobook offers a better way: frequent, short conversations with employees about their career goals that can be integrated seamlessly into the normal course of business.

Beverly Kaye and Julie Winkle Giulioni identify three broad types of conversations that will increase employees' awareness of their strengths, weaknesses, and interests; point out where their organization and their industry are headed; and help them pull all of that together to design their personalized career plans. The new chapter includes an assessment so you can measure how well your current culture supports employee development - and how to improve it.

New perspective for traditional companies

Content: gave me new perspectives and a few tips for a manager in a “traditional” non technology company like myself so I did find it helpful.

Audiobook: narration pace was good, this is my first audiobook and I did feel engaged

mixed performance

While the book has some good insights the writers' tone is too self-congratulatory. The the voice talent is understandable and articulate, but disagreeably saccharine.
