I believed in him so much that I personally invested in him and paid special attention to him. I thought his future with our company was worth the extra time. He never measured up to my expectations and we ended up having to part ways.

I totally agree and had never thought about it in this light. I knew there was a reason when people said "I'm doing the best I know how to do" it made me cringe. Personal development is something I consider every Nov/Dec to set 'New Year's Resolutions' which is just a plan. I look at my goals every quarter to see where I'm at in regards to progress and adjust if necessary. I'm an avid reader. Also EVERY area of my life I'm accountable. Accountability just makes me a better person. Looking forward to tomorrow's post. Awesome post! I totally agree and had never thought about it in this light.

Thanks for the challenge to discover new ways to grow myself and be stretched. A good indication for me to renew my development plans is when I get comfortable in my current situation and even start to feel a bit bored. Although it feels safe for a while to stay comfy, it's never a good idea both personally and professionally. I'm looking forward to tomorrows post on writing a plan! I think it would be a great exercise for me to do and probably would lesson the fear that comes with change :) Great post!

I've got a son in Chicago for school now, but he's still at home for the summer, so not this year again. Have fun! I keep wanting to go to that conference.
