2.Develop them professionally: When the assignments are given to them, allow them to make decisions, problem solving, communicating or planning stages.
3.Provide them with ongoing education: If your company conduct annual training program, encourage them to participate. If it doesn't, then help them to search the opportunities that will encourage their professional growth, such as seminars, workshops, or college classes.
4.Ask them to lead discussion: Give a chance to your staff to manage a meeting. As a first step, suggest them to deliver reports and presentation to groups of their colleagues.
