This toolkit includes ideas you can mix, match, and adapt - whether you're refining your process or starting to build one. It’s designed to help make Develop more repeatable, actionable, and embedded into the flow of work.
Onboarding Touchpoints for Managers New to Develop
Consider including these simple elements when introducing Develop:
A brief Develop overview (e.g., 10-minute walkthrough, team-led intro session, or recorded video link).
A suggested first 1:1 conversation prompt:
“Looking at your results, is there a strength you want to lean into - or something you’d like to make a little easier?”
Encourage managers to share their own results with their team as a way to model reflection and openness.
Built-In Refresh Moments
Use Develop insights to spark meaningful team conversations during:
Quarterly check-ins
Revisit progress, roadblocks, or updates to personal development goals.Team offsites or retros
Reflect on how team strengths show up - or where friction might come from.Goal-setting or review cycles
Use spotlight attributes to shape personal or team goals.
Engagement Playbook (Lightweight, Reusable)
Admins and team leads often benefit from a quick-reference playbook. A one-pager might include:
Timeline options (30-60-90 example):
Week 1: Share results + conversation
Month 1: Identify a focus area
Month 2: Midpoint team or 1:1 touchpoint
Month 3: Reflect and plan next step
Nudge prompts managers can reuse:
“What felt like a win this month?”
“What do you want to work on next - and what support would help?”
Team discussion starters:
“How can we lean into each other’s strengths on this project?”
“What’s something that’s helped you grow lately?”
Make It Repeatable
Keep materials and prompts accessible - reuse what works.
Share links or playbooks more than once (in different formats or channels).
Let managers shape the tone and timing to fit their teams.
This toolkit is meant to grow with you. Adapt pieces that resonate, and don’t hesitate to build on what’s already working.
