Developmental Assignments: Creating Learning Experiences Without Changing Jobs

This well-organized and useful guide is an update to the Center for Creative Leadership's classic book Eighty-Eight Assignments for Development in Place. CCL's research shows that a significant percentage of leadership learning occurs through varied and challenging assignments. This book provides a wealth of examples of how aspiring leaders can gain those opportunities for growth by reshaping their job, seeking temporary assignments and by taking on challenges outside of work. This little book is short on prose, but the extensive list of developmental assignments is an invaluable tool for designing leadership development plans.
