Developing Others

This is the Agility for recognizing and cultivating others' talents.

Agilities are combinations of your work skills and interests. Use them to work more effectively in your career.

They identify areas of growth in individuals and provide them with meaningful opportunities to learn and develop. They can structure learning environments based on individual needs to encourage others to improve their knowledge and skills.
