There is a saying that I think applies to management development as well as it does to health. It says that if you do not invest in health care now you will have to invest in sick care later.
I would say that if you do not invest in management development now, you will need to invest in conflict resolution, career coaching or individual therapy later.
Being proactive is a trait for successful people, managers and others alike. Sometimes it might feel hard for you as a manager or leader to find the time, or rather take the time, out of a busy schedule to step out of doing and spend some time on growing.
It is essential though, as things are constantly changing. When it comes to change in management development int might be good to consider that almost all of the cells in our body are exchanged during the course of a year. So change is a natural state.
So stick with that change and create the time and space for some development of your management skills!
What a great comparison – health care now or sick care later is just like management development now or more expensive alternatives later. Thanks for the post!
