You can’t develop others’ careers
They have to develop their own
![Page 6: Enabling Mentors to Have Quality Career Conversations](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032618/55b57717bb61eb892d8b4817/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Career paths are no longer predictable
![Page 7: Enabling Mentors to Have Quality Career Conversations](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032618/55b57717bb61eb892d8b4817/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Employees need to take responsibility for developing their
own careers
![Page 8: Enabling Mentors to Have Quality Career Conversations](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032618/55b57717bb61eb892d8b4817/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Employees need support
• Where are they at? • What’s important to them in their career? • What does success look like for them? • What skills and qualities do they have? • What opportunities are available? • How do they navigate the processes and politics
of the organisation? • How do they identify and evaluate different
options and opportunities? • What career development strategies can they
use to make progress?
