The experts at CCL have found that successful managers acquire many core skills from their work assignments. Jobs are a rich source of learning. But some jobs provide more of a learning opportunity than others. And many employees don't focus on the learning potential of their day-to-day tasks.

You will be able to score and interpret the profile with the aid of this action guide. You will determine what and how much you are learning, what parts of your job hold key challenges, and what strategies you might adopt to derive maximal learning from these experiences.
