Dorie Clark suggests that professional development should not be limited to annual performance reviews. Instead, individuals should constantly seek to improve themselves at work beyond meeting specific performance goals. To ensure that one becomes more valuable at the end of the year than at the beginning, it's important to plan and strategize for professional development throughout the year.

Question was asked on:

Dorie Clark is a marketing strategist and professional speaker who teaches at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business. Clark wrote the book "Entrepreneurial You, Reinventing You, and Stand Out" and in her article for "Harvard Business Review," she offers advice on planning professional development for the year. "Professional development – improving yourself at work beyond meeting your specific performance goals," Clark says, "is too often left to the rote box-checking of annual performance reviews. To successfully move to the next level, we need to ask ourselves: How can I ensure I'm more valuable at the end of the year than I was at the beginning?"
