Not everyone on your team is chasing a promotion, and that’s okay. This talk gives you a practical framework for spotting what kind of growth each person needs and how to help them get there.
Every team is made up of individuals with different motivations, strengths, and growth trajectories. Some are hungry for the next big challenge. Others are steady, consistent, and quietly keeping things running. And then there are the folks who might be stuck or even holding your team back.
In this 25-minute talk, we’ll walk through a simple but powerful framework to help you identify who’s ready for more, who needs a different kind of challenge, and who may need direct support to improve. We’ll explore the differences between rock stars and superstars, how to recognize medium and low performers, and how to tailor your development conversations accordingly.
And because we don’t all have an unlimited budget for promotions, raises, or new roles, we’ll also cover creative, cost-effective ways to offer meaningful growth opportunities – like stretch assignments, mentorship, and skill-building projects—that help your team grow without breaking the budget.
You’ll leave with a clear lens to evaluate performance beyond just outputs and learn how to create growth plans that actually stick.
