I think being able to recognize this for your employees is a skill that is absolutely necessary in the hiring process when considering someone for a management position. Your manager should be able to see where you as an employee excel, hone your skills, and drive you further.

I also think it’s something that should be closely looked at when designing a company training policy. You want an effective and easy to pick up training system. Of course, you will never find something that works for everyone but more organized and analyzed these are looked at the more employee satisfaction your company will have. This leads to better employee retention and in turn employee output.
