Work can become boring without development opportunities to help your team grow. Doing the same work every day can reduce team motivation, especially if you lead people who have aspirations to do greater things. Some of the best leaders I have worked for provided me with opportunities to do different work, that stretched me and put me outside of my comfort zone. Unsurprisingly, that’s where I learned the most and gained the most confidence. What Is a Development Opportunity? A development opportunity allows team members to learn new skills, doing work that they may not have done before. It might mean working with different people, working on a project or taking on a different role in a team, either by helping where there is a shortage of resources, or if a vacancy opens up.
