And if so, who is responsible?
Some see the world of work as a scary and chaotic place. They believe loyalty is seldom rewarded, restructures are aplenty, and industry changes are relentless. Others, however, take responsibility for their ongoing learning and development and start to see the world of work as a place where they can have autonomy. They feel like they are steering the ship rather than flotsam bobbing on the high seas!
If you happen to work in an organization that provides you with development opportunities, then lucky you — make the most of them! But if you aren’t so fortunate, we’d recommend you start putting your learning plan in place now by asking yourself the basics. What would you do if you could? What would you do if you had to? And what learning will support either of those scenarios? Get planning. It’s a key part of active career management.
