Growth On Purpose

Growth on Purpose is a Chicago-based company that helps employees and managers in fast-growing companies grow as fast or faster than the company grows. Cindy Pogrund and Nikki Fisher – veterans of successful startups – provide a simple, flexible and cost-effective approach to solving the inevitable issues that arise with fast growth such as increased voluntary turnover, employees who feel growth opportunities are disappearing, battlefield-promoted managers who lack key management skills, and a beleaguered HR department that doesn’t have time to do anything except recruiting. Built on a foundation of research into 21st century norms and behaviors, the Growth on Purpose tools, processes and workshops are designed to: 1. Encourage employees to take “extreme ownership” of their careers by using self-reflection to identify what they need to do to master their current job and prepare for future opportunities 2. Help employees develop achievable individualized growth plans and work at their own pace to achieve them 3. Teach managers how to coach and support the development and attainment of employee growth goals 4. Introduce shared behaviors that reinforce a company-wide culture of accountability 5. Provide a set of practical skills that managers can immediately use when they hold the Essential Manager Conversations™ with their employees.
