This powerful resource shows how to transform an organization's culture into a "development culture" by promoting a comprehensive career development program for sustained survival and growth. Simonsen describes how employees and companies can work together to fulfill their goals by creating open lines of communication, aligning individual and organizational purposes, and acting as partners in establishing a thriving development program.

Confronting the reality that hierarchy, job titles, and career paths do not fit today's organizations, this book delineates the roles and responsibilities of all those involved in creating and supporting a development culture.
