21 © Development Dimensions Int’l, Inc., MMXI. All rights reserved. 21 Comments from KSU Managers Q. What can management do to support your skill development? Provide training opportunities, create conducive environment to change and allow for grass root level ideas to grow. Reinforce the things we learn and provide support. Offset some of my daily operational duties during training to support my leadership skill development. Continued communication of changes and strategic objectives, continued trust in the decisions/actions of mid-level managers. As I learn more, I would appreciate more responsibility to be able to employ the skills I have learned. Clear expectations and feedback on results. Difficult to improve without it. I have wonderful support/ Cannot think of anything at this time. Opportunity to attend training (done); tools and time needed; allow for changes to be made based on new learning and allow for new concepts to be introduced.

22 © Development Dimensions Int’l, Inc., MMXI. All rights reserved. 22 Comments from KSU Managers (cont’d) Q. What barriers might prevent you from applying what you learn in training? None/NA/Cannot think of any Stepping into old habits. Lack of time to effectively listen to employees concerns/goals due to competing tasks. Culture at KSU & politics between groups. Overall culture; fear; difficulty to change existing practices w/o criticism. Need courage to make hard decisions when needed (incl. discipline and letting someone go). Due to culture this can be a difficult process. If you let someone go it is difficult to bring someone on at the same salary.
