7 Ways Your Company Can Revitalize Your Career

We have been discussing the research from Harvard over the past two weeks. This is the final piece for this 3 part series. See last weeks 7 habits of ineffective careers by viewing the posting below.

Here are 7 possible answers that organizations can use to revitalize your career:

1. Remove barriers - Managers need to be encouraged to stop blocking employees and remove internal hiring bureaucracy


2. Find the B players and nurture the keepers - They may not desire the executive suite but have a lot of internal knowledge and loyalty


3. Fresh assignments - Offer a different geographic location or part of an organization to offer lateral moves


4. Offer a mentoring program - This works bi-directionally. It impacts both the mentor and the less experienced


5. Education - Doing an MBA or taking an executive program adds more to your toolkit and is great for your mind


6. Sabbaticals - From micro to 1 year off, it is great for your sole and your soul


7. Leadership development - Training to help nurture and develop the skills and talents towards great leadership

Bonus idea:

Volunteering and contributing to others in need brings everything into perspective - everyone wins.

These are all great ideas. Organizations are complex. I think what will separate the good from
the great employers is their ability to utilize all 7 of these elements within their organization.
