#53 | 5 Rules for Career Growth | Idris & Leon Jala

Your career is not your manager’s responsibility. It’s yours. And if you’re leading an organisation, creating a culture of growth is not a nice-to-have — it’s a competitive advantage. This week, we talk about career growth on a personal basis -- looking at 5 rules for proactive and self--initiated personal development to help you find your purpose, deliver big fast results, continually assess your value to the job economy and navigate office politics. What are the 5 rules? 1. Be the CEO of your own growth (how Idris rejected a promotion in his HR capacity so that he could learn and grow in retail in Shell) 2. Be the best if you can be with whatever role you have now (even if it's boring) 3. Find win-win opportunities between you and your employer (advice from Leon on how fresh graduates can secure a job with no experience based on his application to Leo Burnett Malaysia) 4. Learn by the 70:20:10 rule -- creating a culture of experiential learning 5. Check your market value every 3 years (ensuring that you have something in your pocket if you get an offer, or are brought back down to earth if you don't succeed) Dato Sri Idris Jala is a former minister (ranked by Bloomberg in 2014 as the top 10 most influential policy makers in the world) and Chairman of PEMANDU Associates and Heineken Malaysia, as well as Co-Chairman of Sunway Group.
