We are excited to launch this new series on growth! The research on personal and professional growth is extremely large, highly interdisciplinary and continues to grow annually, especially post pandemic. This is because of how the pandemic transformed the workplace and the explosion of digital learning. The Scispace’s bibliometric index states that there are an estimated 7914 publications that have been published on personal growth; of which includes peer-reviewed journal articles, books, conference papers, and major theoretical works such as self-determination theory, intrinsic motivation and character development.

Similarly, Scopus-indexed professional development research identified over 135 peer-reviewed articles specifically focused on career paths, labor market dynamics and professional development. All points to the growing interest in growth- be it personal growth or professional growth. For the remainder of the year, we will address key areas of growth.

In this episode of Points of Leadership, we provide an overview of this new series (The Bounty of Growth), a definition of growth and dive into the first aspect of this series- which is cultivating growth. Our discussion examines how to cultivate growth in practical ways. Lastly, we provide specific examples of growth, because growth is measurable transformation!

Growth be it personal or professional is not a title, or slogan, or vibe. Rather, growth is a measurable transformation in character, contribution and capacity. Growth is a result of disciplined process of consistently producing stronger outcomes than before. Anyone can embark on the journey of growth. It takes intentionality and focus. Growth is not something to force on anyone.

As always, the leadership principles we share here on Points of Leadership are for any leader in any industry that desires to take care of those they lead well through the overflow of his or her life. So, pull up a chair, call a friend and take a listen and share with any industry leader in your life. We appreciate all the feedback. Thank you for engaging with us.
