Folks who hire someone (and\/or the applicant tracking systems as play) always seem to look for an exact match. There is little vision and\/or belief that someone can grow into a position, or to lead differently, or to go in a different but better direction. They reach for their cookie cutters and shove their imaginations and ability to think bigger aside.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Employers could help people by investing in their employees&#8217; growth and development &#8212; even if it means they actively help an employee take a right turn. Such an employee could hopefully find a new fit within that organization &#8212; if they do, they would likely turn out to be fiercely loyal. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Even if it means offering an employee 1-2 courses a year that they want to learn about &#8212; NO STRINGS ATTACHED &#8212; the learning culture would get a huge boost!!! Peoples&#8217; <em>love\/enjoyment of learning<\/em> would grow. Morale would improve.
