In fact, “opportunities” to develop is the number one retainer and engager of your top people- the ***least expensive and most powerful reward your organization has to build your A team***. To continue your delegation journey, I created a 18 minute video to show you the whole process. The development action plan process gets all employees working towards goals that benefit them and the company. **Watch the 18 minute Video:  [Develop High Potentials with Action Plans](https://player.vimeo.com/external/135470629.hd.mp4?s=90c05cbaf84f0890b6a4af91787a3f37&profile_id=113)** (The video shows not only how action plans benefit your best performers, but also the average Jane and the lowest performer as well!) So go ahead, give up something off your list in January and watch your people grow!
