Ask Two Monthly Questions
- Monthly, ask what you learned about your team that you didn't know before.
- Then ask how that learning changes the way you lead moving forward.

- Redefine development as deliberate improvement at your current job, not only promotions or pay.
- Development should be purposeful, evidence-based, and aligned with increasing impact.
Broaden Development Without Role Changes
