A progressive career is about excelling in one’s chosen field of work in service of other living being and being acknowledged and appreciated for the same.
According to me there are these following aspects that contribute to a progressive career –
1) Being Fit to Serve – Continue to gain right experience, adding competencies, acquiring skills and knowledge.
2) Serving – Continue to remain relevant to people/customers – further excelling and expanding.
3) Returns – Receiving corresponding recognition, remuneration, security, life style etc.
4) More importantly – Ongoing sense of fulfillment, sense of contribution etc.
Important words to note here are – “Continue”, “Receiving” and “Ongoing”! All of these happening in tandem with persistence seems to be a good indicator of a progressive career flow.
As you see this is a complex game and a very active pursuit. It will be nice to be mindful of these aspects and take necessary action and remain responsible towards your career.
Professionals often weigh one aspect over the other and compromise or give up on the balance. This compromise or giving up on one of these aspects and remaining in that state for long is the state of being stuck in one’s Career!
Building career is hard work and I see people are willing to do that but they are not sure where to start. Comparison with others, complaining about culture, hoping that time will ensure growth, ignorant about changing realities around you etc. are some blocks that obscure right action.
Coaching is a great tool that one can explore to identify what are the limiting beliefs, assumptions etc. that is keeping one stuck.
