From Development Is Not Optional: Because of the rapid changes taking place in today's workplace, we discern two new critical success factors: 1. Individuals must learn and apply new skills quickly. 2. Leaders must help others learn new skills and change their behavior. No matter what your job is, you feel pressures to work faster, smarter, and better. To stay competitive, you have to develop new capabilities to do more with less, reduce cycle time, improve processes, stay abreast of technology, launch programs, and devise new market strategies. And if you don't continually improve these capabilities, you will fall behind. Development is not optional.
