Helping people develop their potential--enabling them to articulate and become the self they want to be, are capable of being, and that best serves them and others in the short and long term--is what we as individuals and leaders strive toward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut how do we grow? It turns out it happens in a predictable way, which means we can understand where we are in our growth and chart a way forward.
