Personal Growth

The tortoise is a symbol of personal growth.Organizations are made up of people. People (as if you forgot) are human beings. Lovely, wonderful, sentient animals with unique needs and desires and dreams. They are constantly growing and changing.

As the people in your team grow as individuals, so will your work. Nothing stands still. Effective, ethical social impact organizations know this, and they encourage people to grow. They embrace continual learning and change, because that’s where resilience and creativity come from.

The Organizer articles on growth remind us of the ways in which we, as humans, continuously change and strive for positive impact in this world.
