You Have Good Potential to Grow in Your Career. How to Make Your Management Know It?

You may be one of a host of people who are in possession of sterling good brains to frequently come out with new ideas. This certainly augurs well for your growth because it will help you in your efforts to succeed. But will clinging ruggedly to your superlative ideas automatically get you success? The answer to this question is that you can not achieve success just because you have ideas. You have to act upon them. Let us elaborate on this.

Malcolm Gladwell, who brought out a book entitled "The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference," offers a few interesting points that are relevant to the topic of success. Now, how to explain the concept of the tipping point? Let us take the example of a glass that is filled with water up to the brim. Even though the glass is already full, you start adding water, one drop after another. The level of water will rise thanks to the Theory of Surface Tension but at a certain point, just one more drop will disturb the whole equilibrium and the entire excess water will get spilled. 

According to Malcolm Gladwell, human society reaches a tip-off point due to the act or idea of just a single person. Even infectious diseases behave in a similar fashion. They keep incubating for several years. Suddenly, when the conditions are very much suitable for their eruption, they start attacking people. 

Experts from the medical fraternity firmly opine that creating ideas will restore the tissues of your brain. But when you create them, it is wrong to lock them up in your bosom. You should keep sharing them with the right people. Especially, if you are an employee and if you nurture an ambition to grow in your organization, you must keep creating ideas on a continuous basis. Very importantly, you should bring them to the table as well. Only then, the management will know that you have the potential to grow. Unfortunately, the nub of the issues many companies face mainly lies in inadequacy in this aspect. This means they do not get the required number of employees who can provide them with good ideas.  

Of course, coming out with ideas on a continuous basis and sharing them with the top brass of the company may prove to be a frustrating process for employees like you. It is like throwing seeds on fertile ground. You do not know which kernel will sprout out and grow into a big tree. Remember that even a bright idea will work only if the conditions are congenial. But when your ideas are not received in the manner you expect, you should accept such situations with valiant gaiety.  Perhaps, the conditions may not be suitable and that is the reason you could not sell your ideas. Therefore, you must not allow such things to dampen your buoyant spirit.

Another point to remember is that just because your ideas have not been considered or have been rejected, you do not become a dullhead. The very fact that you have been continuously supplying ideas will always be remembered by the management. 

So, keep trying and keep changing your perspectives. You will get unimaginably bright ideas. This will certainly benefit you in your career growth.
