Question: How do we make time for, and prioritise, people’s growth when the work/status/priority of the project makes it practically very difficult?

Answer:

• Make your one-on-ones about wellbeing, and what growth exists for each person in the work they are doing.
• Take as many opportunities as are available to stimulate reflection and learning through the work being done.
• Give lots of in-the-moment feedback.
• Have just one growth goal for each person that is pursued through the work, not in addition to the work.
• In short, use the small amount of time available to focus on growth wisely. Make it count!
