Growth conversations are one of the most avoided topics in leadership — and one of the most important. In the Season 1 finale, Alex breaks down what development actually means, why leaders avoid these conversations, and how to approach them with clarity and confidence. We explore the difference between in-role development and career development, introduce the 70-20-10 framework from the Center for Creative Leadership, and tackle the conversation most leaders dread: what do you say when someone wants to grow but the opportunity is not there? This episode includes a Solo Rehearsal to help you prepare a real growth conversation and a Team Rehearsal to put it into practice. This is where everything we have rehearsed this season comes together.
