I thought exactly this as I wrote that sentence. I've been immeasurably lucky in that every organisation I've worked for has made the professional and technical growth of their employees a top priority.

It never fails to make me sad that this is nowhere near the norm for the industry at large. As a consultant, it's this type of culture that I try to take with me to every client I visit, and in most cases our clients catch on pretty quickly that giving people time and space to grow makes everything better, for everyone.
