Aligning Organizational Development with Staff Development

Aligning Organizational Development with Staff Development

Is the organizational career dead? This course has made me contemplate my career with the company I've worked for for the last eight years. I was recently promoted, and I'm very excited about the opportunity, however, it does make me think there could be limits to the opportunities? What if there was to be a change in the senior leadership I directly report to; would the replacements see what I bring to the operations of our division in the same way the current Vice President does? I've selected to concentrate this paper on the efforts of organizations to further their staff with career development, growth opportunities and encouragement. Some questions I had when outlining this as a topic were as to whether my career is the responsibility of the company I'm with? Do we partner in furthering my career? Or am I sole owner of my career?
