„It is time to act professionally and approach things seriously!“
The boss's gaze is focused on the entire round. Everyone knows his thoughts: „What kind of kindergarten is that again?“. Finally, a sentence directed at the project manager: „You can handle it, right…?“ and he leaves the room quickly.
When I think of kindergarten, I immediately think of socialization and the starting point for growing up. Maybe the child should learn how children should be and be prepared for the school that teaches them, how adults should be?! And then you come into the world of work ... But let's leave that aside.
Personal maturity is like growing up your personality. It's about making smarter decisions, taking responsibility and dealing well with other people. Personal growth, on the other hand, is like the blossoming of your skills and talents. It means developing, learning new things and leaving your comfort zone. So maturity is more related to your attitude and behavior, while growth focuses on your skills and knowledge. Both are important aspects to become a better version of yourself.
In our professional journey, we encounter not only challenges and successes, but also the continuous development of our personal maturity. It is that inner maturity that enables us to deal with setbacks and learn from them. It allows us to keep a clear head and to act wisely even in turbulent times.
Personal maturity in the work environment means taking responsibility for our decisions and building our actions on a foundation of values and experiences. It empowers us to approach conflicts constructively and shape our interpersonal relationships with respect and empathy.
Looking back on our own journey, we may recognize moments when we have grown. Perhaps it was challenging projects that pushed us to our limits or team challenges where we found solutions that benefited everyone involved. These experiences have shaped us and fostered our personal maturity.
Let's use these insights and contribute together to a working environment that is a place where openness, willingness to learn and mutual respect thrive.
Together we can continue to grow and bring about a positive change.
