Ingredients

People may have years of experience, but their professional competency does not reach the high level of maturity.

Professional growth is a journey; regardless of which stage you are at the professional development cycle, forethoughtful leaders or professionals should continue learning, relearning, sharpening new skill sets, and innovating.

 There are varying ingredients in developing differentiated professional competency. You become what you do, and you improve when you reflect and rectify what you have done; keep the movement on, in order to reach the high level of professional maturity,

Growth: Knowledge abundance and fierce competition are part of the new normal; growth is the theme for global professionals to keep improving themselves from mindset to actions. It is especially important to transform outdated thinking, irrational behavior to fresh insight; stepwise actions, shape professional capabilities to make progress. With a growth mindset aligned with a proactive attitude, people are becoming more confident, self-driven and self-disciplined to grow themselves professionally and realize value to benefit themselves and organizations.

There is the “growth pain,” and it takes practice and practice more to develop unique competency. The constant negotiation between our inner self and projection is what leads to growth and human evolution. Fast-growing organizations can build competitive teams which are composed of self-motivated people who can adopt a personal drive to grow themselves professionally in changing contexts. Then through training and closely monitoring results and ethics, they can develop their talent so that they have the growth mindset to produce high performance in an ethical manner while exhibiting the vision and guts required to lead the organization’s next level of growth.

Guidance: Global society becomes more complex, problems become more complex in today’s changing dynamic, it’s important to provide guidance for setting the right directions, avoiding repetitive mistakes and improving the success of problem-solving. High influencers can guide others to achieve certain goals, not only benefiting themselves, but also good from societal evolution. Guidance becomes a differentiated professional capability and leadership quality. Either providing guidance or taking guides, recognize what is best to think and do, refine knowledge via the full learning cycle, in relation to self-development, including effective communications, decision support, to build professional competency.

Individually, it’s important to set professional guidance from within, know and comprehend how you can think profoundly, manage emotions and behaviors, for talent development, self-management. Professionals have their set of guidance to shape their mindset and instruct their behaviors. But be insightful and practice critical thinking. Try not to fixate on single narratives but listen to more feedback and diverse viewpoints. The best way to end up where everybody else is to follow conventional wisdom as guidance on where to go at every turn.

Gap-minding:
Due to the increasing speed of change and abundant knowledge growth, outdated thoughts and skill gaps are the reality. There's a disconnect between short term needs and long term perspectives; there is also a gap between the traditional way to do things and the alternative way to solve problems. Bridging the gap of opportunity between where you are and who you want to become is a welcomed challenge.

Being “global” involves a personal intention to focus on moving up to the global growth trajectory. The workforce today is multigenerational, multi-geographic, and multi-devicing. The gaps can be bridged through cognitive differences, interdisciplinary expertise, and personalized training. It is important to develop a series of gap-minding practices to bridge the multitude of gaps for speeding up changes. In fact, gap-minding is a differentiated professional capability to harness cross-boundary collaboration and harmonize global society.

People may have years of experience, but their professional competency does not reach the high level of maturity. Every professional has their own journey of growth either personally or professionally based on their own innate talent, right attitude, professional training, life experience refinement.
