Abstract
This article contains an exercise in planning to learn from job assignments derived from a recent study and the literature on self-directed learning. It proposes a frame-work and a process intended to help students who are managers and professionals view, plan, and analyze their job assignments using the lens of learning. As such, it enables them to become architects of their own development in a conscious, proac-tive way.Keywords
