Moving up the ladder

As a new manger I have been approched by a team member looking for a promotion. I have talked to him about developing a plan to move in that direction he has only been with the company a year and we have had conversations about his preformnce and time managment. As of latley I have taken extra duties off his plate so he could balance his work load better. He is a team player with alot of potential but really needs to continue to grow and develop. What is the best way to express this with out demotivating him?

Elise,
this is a delicate situation. I think taking what you've had to do & helping him realize that in order to move up with the company he needs to first prove himself in his current role. Many individuals have potential, but they look past their current responsibilities. You won't be promoted to higher responsibility if you can't handle what you have now.
