A new twist on employee performance reviews:

As we wrap up the yearly performance cycle, project managers often provide input regarding team members’ accomplishments.

In addition to verbal and written accolades, how else can you promote your team members’ careers?

Project managers are in a unique position to create learning opportunities within the structure of the team. Here are a few ideas that promote career growth:

- Offer job sharing or job shadowing on your project.
- Encourage team members to work on tasks outside their expertise.
- Provide leadership roles within the team, such as presenting to stakeholders..
- Ask team members their stretch goals and find ways to incorporate them.

Caring about the career goals of your team members and finding innovative ways to incorporate skill building throughout the life of the project will build a stronger team that delivers better results.

Thank you for connecting with me. I'm looking forward to sharing ideas on how to manage your team through tensions to project success in ways that ensure everyone's voice is heard.
