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.

People with the talent for developing others effectively teach, mentor, counsel, and evaluate others. 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.

PEOPLE WHO DEVELOP OTHERS USE THESE SKILLS:

Coaching

"I coach soccer and the local middle school robotics team."

Teaching

"I taught my team how to use a message board so we could communicate virtually."

Evaluating

"I provided an evaluation of how well she analyzed and solved the problem."

Mentoring

"I mentored him in his first year here to help him find resources and connect with others."

TIP: Use these words in career conversations, resumés, and cover letters.
