My leadership development has lost momentum and I don’t know why. What would you do?
I was approached by my manager about my leadership potential and was asked if I would be interested in her role. I shared that I was and I received lot of encouragement, support, and momentum around my development.
I was asked to join a leadership development program so I did and completed the two month program. I gave a presentation and my manager was in full support throughout the program but since it ended things have gone quiet and there hasn’t been much follow-up.
I’m unsure whether I should approach my boss about continuing my leadership development or just wait and see if opportunities come back around. I do not want to come across as needy or cause my manager anymore stress since she is very busy.
Has anyone been in a similar situation, and how did you handle it?
I am aware that I am responsible for my own development but my development plan was created with my manager which included areas I need to learn and since the leadership program ended I haven’t heard anything about next steps.
Thanks
