I don’t see many bosses invest in their teams unless there’s a problem. I wonder if that’s the wrong approach. I also notice that many orgs have “learning” benefits, but typically come loaded with a bunch of red tape. Why can’t development be easier?After talking with so many different people, I am re-affirming my opinion that the only person who you depend on to invest in you is you. A friend of mine, Brian, says he’s investing in himself so that he can develop the ability to fly. I love that. I’m investing in myself so that I have the ability to explore deeper along the margin. Invest in yourself — read blogs, go to libraries, hang out with people wiser than you. Learn form them. Dead people are often the most insightful.
