You could be seated in your office complaining how you are going to leave your current job because your boss is doing nothing to grow you professionally. This of course brings a negative feeling towards your job and you may find yourself not performing. You need to evaluate the situation and understand that any personal and professional development benefits you more than your boss. Therefore you are the one to take charge of it. You could ask your boss to provide any helpful guidance to you and then take control of the issue. It will dawn to you that you gain the most out of it, and fail the most if you do nothing about it.
