Professional growth implies not just more money but encompasses so much more. The desire for challenge, stimulation and stretching our own capacities is what drives people to want to grow and become high performers.
1. Create a fail-forward culture - Challenge carries a risk of failure. No one wants to brave a new challenge if there is an implied or overt threat of punishment for failure. Instead, imbue the culture with the message that bold failures are not only acceptable but also desirable because they teach important lessons and foster innovation.
2. Provide mentors.
3. Encourage self-evaluation.
4. Instigate positive stress.
5. Use positive framing.
