Professional and career development in one’s work is something that most people want and strive for.
A higher and more meaningful position, a higher professional level, is an opportunity to increase income and improve quality of life, and to take on new opportunities.
Some people manage to grow in their careers, some never do. What does it depend on?
There are many factors to consider.
These include the level of professional expertise and knowledge, and the quality of the skills a person possesses. So-called hard skills.
But recently, the soft skills – the supraprofessional soft skills related to a person’s emotional characteristics, or the so-called “human factor” – have been given the most importance.
These skills include:
- organisational skills;
- the ability to negotiate with others;
- creativity;
- teachability;
- flexibility;
- flexibility to adapt to a changing environment.
The higher the position, the more responsibility a person takes, the more important these characteristics become.
So what happens to people in their professional and career development? Why is the process never easy and simple?
When the volume of information and tasks becomes more demanding, lack of energy, irritability, sabotage, loss of concentration and fear of making a mistake often arise.
Conditions rise in communication with leadership figures:
- instability;
- self-depreciation;
- fear of asking for a promotion;
- presenting one’s ideas;
- inability to hear exact demands, which prevents one from perceiving and carrying out tasks correctly.
In teamwork, people face rejection of other opinions, conflict, and an inability to defend their opinions, causing a drop in the quality of synchronisation between people and departments and a deterioration of the emotional background.
All this reduces the effectiveness of interaction with work processes and the end result.
By seeing and working out these states with the GSR, a person can dramatically improve the effectiveness of their development and the accuracy of their work tasks.
The human factor ceases to limit the professional process of the specialist and ensures rapid growth.
