How Can You Invest in Your Team’s Development?

“It’s very easy for leaders to misunderstand people who don’t want to go
for a promotion as not ambitious … but that’s just not the case.”
Not everyone dreams of becoming a manager. Some people just want
to do a brilliant job right where they are. So, how do you support growth
when promotions aren’t the answer?

Lizzie Boyd’s been figuring that out. In smaller teams – where the
ladder’s short or sometimes even non-existent – she’s built a different
kind of framework, one that recognises mastery as a form of
progression.

“We have a ‘career growth path’ and also a ‘mastery path’,” she says.

“You don’t want the team to stagnate, so if they are happy where they
are on the ladder, they can just embed their roots and upskill.”

In this session, Lizzie, founder and director of The Pod HR, shares how
she has rethought development, so your team can keep learning, stay
motivated, and create a culture where nobody gets left behind just
because they’re not constantly climbing.

We’ll get into:

● What growth can look like without promotion.
● How to build a framework that encourages curiosity and
skill-building.
● Why being ‘good where you are’ isn’t the same as coasting.
“You get the benefit of having really driven people who seek role
advancement – but you’re also nurturing the people who want to come
in and do their role really well.”

If you’re looking for a more flexible, thoughtful way to develop your
team, this online session is one to join.
