Summary of Business Development: Growth Path {Module 1} CH 3
Key Concepts on Growth Path and Career Development
Consistency and Focus (“Don’t Be Jumpy”)
- Employees should fully complete tasks or projects they start before moving on to new ones.
- Jumping between tasks without finishing reduces competency, exposure, and confidence.
- Consistent repetition and mastery of work build expertise and growth.
- If stuck, employees should seek guidance from seniors rather than switching tasks prematurely.
Managing Initial Expectations
- Avoid setting expectations before understanding the work process.
- Premature expectations can cause demotivation (if too high) or limit potential (if too low).
- Learning and observing the execution phase is critical before setting KPIs or goals.
- Set expectations only after gaining a “gut feeling” or confidence in understanding the work.
- Example: Like mastering a subject by repeated practice before expecting to pass an exam.
Hierarchy and Career Progression Framework
- Clear organizational hierarchy outlined to clarify growth path:
- Level 3: Business Development (entry level)
- Level 12: Business Development Executive
- Associate → Team Leader → Associate Manager → Manager → Associate General Manager → Senior Manager → Associate Director → Managing Director → AVPs → VPs → Board Members/Co-founders/Directors
- Employees start at the bottom and can progress to senior leadership with commitment and performance.
- Business development offers comparatively faster growth opportunities than many other fields but requires strong execution and output.
Setting KPIs and Goals
- After gaining understanding and confidence in work, employees should define KPIs and timelines for their growth.
- Without defined goals, it’s difficult to achieve significant progress in the organization.
