Sometimes it just feels like we can’t live up to our team’s expectations, our company's needs, or even our own goals, all at the same time. Yet, it is up to leaders, HR, and other organizational development roles within companies to manage, maintain, and grow all of these key aspects. Without personal development of yourself and the individuals on your team, you may be left with unsatisfied and unfulfilled team members who aren’t consistently bringing their best selves to the plate. Without leadership development, you and your team might become stagnant, and unable to grow past a certain level of success. If you're not meeting company growth or economic goals, your organization will not survive in a competitive market.

How do the most successful leaders and HR people approach this overwhelming, high-wire balancing act? How can you, as a leader, manager, or HR person, support the growth of your team members as individuals, as well as maintain the consistent growth of your organization?

Brilliant business designer and TrueCar CPO, John Foster, is here to help guide us in this hugely important conversation. He shares insights on how HR can be fundamental in empowering the mindset shift within an organization to optimize growth and support each individual.

Discover how the concepts of facilitation, reciprocity, and empowerment can revolutionize your organization and promote the growth of your team while meeting overarching business goals.

You are allowed to commit to your team members’ development. You are allowed to commit to your company goals. And you are allowed to support the growth and success of both.
