Many people fail in life, not for lack of ability or brains or even courage, but simply because they have never organized their energies around a goal.
We have heard people complaining about
1. Growth Opportunity is not there (read promotion)
2. Somebody was favored.
3. Carrying out same work/ project for many years
4. …
The root cause for such situation is often
1. They do not have a goal while they desire to move up the ladder. The two are not same.
2. Even when we had a goal, complete submission of our resource towards the goal did not happen.
3. Goals are limited to a title and compensation.
Career Development is beyond these. It can be explained as below (based on the PCMM—People Capability Maturity Model),
