From today to the target role

Skill gaps

    Roadmap

    For the mentor

    Questions to ask in the session

    1. Why do you want this role? What is the most important thing it would give you?
    2. What does someone in this role spend most of their week on today? Does that suit you?
    3. What opportunity in your current job could you use to close your biggest skill gap?
    4. Which of the experiences you marked "Need it" could we get started in the next three months?
    5. Who could make you visible along this path? Does your manager know about this map?
    Background

    The 70-20-10 approach

    Most of a manager's development comes from experiences on the job, some from other people (a mentor, a manager) and the smallest share from training. That is why the map lists experiences before training.
