The Power to See Ourselves

Self-image is an important element in a manager's development. Personal growth is a direct result of an individual's changing self-concept. While growth does not occur in clear-cut logical steps, the process involves the following elements: self-examination, which lays the groundwork for insights and changes; the identification of self-expectations; changing to meet those expectations; self-direction; the broadening of perceptions; and self-realization. Growth is the evolvement of personal goals and the sense of venture in pursuing them.
