Have you contributed to the growth of a colleague at the work place, if yes, in what way, if no, why?

Hano, when one thinks about the importance of growing the next person, what does that mean - to grow another person, at work, in life, at home etc?

Have you contributed to the growth of your colleague at all? What does that actually mean when we say you must help to grow the next person - especially at work, in friendship circles or just in life. Here, I am not talking about growing a family, children etc, but your contribution to a colleague or friend, my input, influence and basically contribution to the growth of my colleagues.

If you and I pause now, and think about colleagues you have assisted to grow, will you mention at least one or two? How did you contribute to their growth, in which way? How does that make you feel that you at least, in your limited way contributed to the growth of the next person professionally?
If you have not done that yet, how can you do that?There is so much satisfaction in growing the next person. We might not immediately see or realize that, but once you recognized that, you will know.
To me, growing the next person, professionally or in whatever away has so much impact and gives satisfaction to both the grower and the growing or the grown.


Remember, the author of this post is also growing, every day and will appreciate anyone contributing to her growth....I have realized what growing the next person means, as I was also grown.
Now, let's learn to share - in terms of growing our own people, those in our lives - next to us, at work, at home - and in your direction. I am sure you will feel full filled once you try that ......

If you grow another person, you will surely grow further as this action has ripple effects and can be reciprocal in many ways....the person you have grown might not be the one who will immediately reward you but those close to you - or close to that person who appreciate the growth of that person will give your positive feedback.

We all have the capacity to grown other people, we just need to open up and be a bit generous with our skills to grow others.. remember, you reap what you grow or plant -- therefore, grow now to have the fruit tomorrow -- positive growing has positive fruit....
