Chapter 10. Growth Through Assignments
“I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” | ||
| --Confucius, Ancient Chinese Philosopher | ||
Jobs, task force memberships, and other long-term assignments offer opportunities for people to satisfy several development objectives at the same time (e.g., two challenges, two knowledge areas, one competency, and one derailer). Individuals will typically be on an assignment anywhere from two months to two years. A person who is in an Acceleration Pool for 10 years might have only six assignments or fewer; a 5-year member might have only two or three. Each assignment, therefore, plays a significant role in the individual’s development.
