Manager buy-in is one of the strongest predictors of a successful rollout. When you champion Develop, your team is more likely to see it as a valuable tool
- not just another task.
Why It Matters
Visibility Drives Trust: When you show that you’ve engaged with your own results, others feel safer doing the same.
Context Creates Meaning: You help connect the dots between Develop and day-to-day work.
Momentum Starts with You: Teams often follow your lead in whether (and how) they use the platform.
Ways to Champion Effectively
1. Share Your Own Experience
Talk about what you learned in your results and how you're using that insight in your role.
Mention your own action plan in a team meeting to normalize development.
2. Be Consistent
Reference Develop in 1:1s and team check-ins - not just once during kickoff.
Set reminders to revisit action plans and team insights monthly.
3. Connect to Business Value
Reinforce that this isn’t a performance review - it's a tool to boost effectiveness, communication, and collaboration.
Highlight wins: “This project went smoothly, and I think it’s partly because we aligned strengths well up front.”
4. Celebrate Participation
Acknowledge team members who engage with their results or set goals.
Reinforce that growth takes effort - and that effort is seen and appreciated.
Your influence goes beyond encouragement. You help shape how your team views their own growth - and whether they see it as possible.
