Preface:

Developing a work environment and supervisory culture that promotes self-management helps employees meet new challenges and take responsibility for their professional development. Self-managing employees also provide benefits for managers:

• The need for disciplinary intervention is minimized, so human resources professionals have more time for coaching and relationship-building.
• Managers have more time to focus on strategic planning and execution.

Self-managing employees are employees who can:

• Seek out guidance as needed.
• Set personal goals and monitor their own progress.
• Solve problems creatively.
• Develop new skills on their own.
• Tackle increasingly complex tasks
