The learner identifies learning needs, determines the learning goal,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eselects the method on how to achieve it and initiates it. The role of the development\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003especialist becomes that of a facilitator, counsellor or supporter rather than the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eprovider or initiator of development opportunities (Pedler, 1988; Pedler et al., 2007).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelf development takes into consideration that approximately 80 per cent of learning\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eis through experience and integrates learning in the context where it happens. Self\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edevelopment is not only about enhancing professional skills and performance; it is\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ealso about personal growth (Boydell and Pedler, 1981; Megginson and Pedler, 1992).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor self development to be beneficial to the individual as well as the organisation,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esupplementary activities, such as development centres, personal development plans\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eor competency dictionaries can offer guidelines to the individual (Antonacopoulou,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2000). Self development should not be regarded as separate to organisational\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edevelopment, but rather as an integral component (Smith, 1990).
