Also, tell others how you have done that. Embrace vulnerability, if you show interest in learning, others will do the same.<\/li>\n<li class=\"post-component text\"><strong>Motivate people for learning:<\/strong> Don&#8217;t just talk about goals, go beyond that. Ask employees about their flaws, needs, ambitions, etc. Share feedback at every stage of the project. Appreciation\u00a0is a great motivator.\u00a0 But you and your colleagues can achieve even better results when you explain them their weaknesses and invest your time in helping them with overcoming it.<\/li>\n<li class=\"post-component text\"><strong>Build strategies to support development:<\/strong> Managers know\u00a0who needs improvements and in which areas. For high performers,\u00a0you can build career tracks\u00a0so they will get a clear picture of their future path in the organization.<\/li>\n<li class=\"post-component text\"><strong>Reinforce shared values:<\/strong> Ask your employees to link their everyday tasks and responsibilities with the organization&#8217;s value. They should understand why their work is important for the organization.<\/li>\n<li class=\"post-component text\"><strong>Consider flaws and issues as a way of learning and development:<\/strong> Never take failures too personal.
