The Process for Sustainable Growth

Lead For Clarity

The Shandel Group team is back for Season 5 to discuss the Process for Sustainable Growth, a framework developed to support sustainable growth of organizations, teams and individuals. It's important to remember that growth is uncomfortable and we have to push ourselves into that discomfort, otherwise we will end up moving forward in an unhealthy way. The Process guides us to consciously think through how we grow to make sure we are growing in the right direction.
The Process outlines the 6 stages you can anticipate going through any time you grow. The stages are - Pain, Purposefully Connect, Plant, Progress, Prune and Profit.

The starting point for any growth cycle is Pain and this is where we enter into the process. In the healthy cycle, everything is centered around our values, understanding what those are and making sure we are focused on living our values. Many pain points come from not knowing our values or compromising them. It’s hard to this work and we can off-ramp into the unhealthy cycle when we are not ready to lean into fixing what isn’t going well. After feeling the pain, the next stage is purposefully connect with our values, others and the struggle we are facing. Planting is a stage full of hard work but this leads to Progress, where we start to see changes coming to fruition. Then we go into the Pruning stage, where we take out the fluff and get rid of things that don’t serve us anymore. Finally we reach Profit, and see that the pain had a purpose and a meaning and we have reached our goal and are profitable.
After going through the cycle, then you start all over with a new pain point! This season is going to be all about how to apply this growth process to all aspects of life and how to get the most out of what you want to accomplish.
