5 ways to improve employee development at your company
There are a seemingly infinite number of initiatives that can lead to success at your company. You can pull levers on product development, QA, sales, marketing, customer success…etc… but prioritizing what will have the greatest impact is tough. It’s no wonder that employee development often ends up at the bottom of a very long list.Leaders are constrained by time and are often biased towards short to medium term growth. This is especially true at startups, where we anxiously look ahead to the end of the runway. Can we really trade tomorrow’s ROI goals for benefits that we will reap next quarter or next year?But that is the wrong lense through which to view employee development. Your people are your company.

I know I have done articles on Marshall Goss before, but this one deals with his new endeavor. I have known Marshall since the days he was the cross country coach at Bloomington South High School. He then moved on to IU and was their head coach for several years. Judy Bogenschutz, a former Batesville runner, coached at IU when Marshall was working with the boys program.Today Marshall is the head man at the Indiana Track Hall of Fame. This was a dream of Marshall’s for a long time. It is located in Terre Haute, Indiana, and would make a fun stop on a summer vacation. It is easily accessible when you travel west on I-70. You get off at the first Terre Haute exit and it is right there. Several Batesville athletes can be found in the Hall.
