Growing

I’m an introvert in every sense of the word. My Myers Briggs profile is INTJ and this profile very accurately sums me up as an individual.
One of the traits of my personality type is introspection, I obsess about my own performance on a daily basis, this is a real double edge sword as on the one hand I have a real insight into my many (failings) and on the other I can sometimes be too self absorbed.
One important part of my character is an almost obsessive need to constantly improve myself and this has led to my taking some risks in my career as I have never taken the safe option. If I had I would still be at Pret! Not that there would have been anything wrong with that as they are an amazing company to work for, I just wouldn’t have the rounded leader that I am today.
I’m not going to dispense advice on personal growth as I believe that you make your own choices in life and if you truly want to help someone develop you should spend time getting them excited about the endless opportunities that come with improving yourself. The best you can do is open the door for them, they have to want to step over the threshold and make the journey,
