Description

The world is changing rapidly. Most of the skillsets we use today will be irrelevant very soon. Several jobs that exist today will be extinct. AI-powered apps and robots will replace all of them.

Corona Pandemic has fast-tracked most of these developments. COVID is rewriting the rules of the game, and AI is automating them. Acute talent deficiency is another pandemic all of us will face very soon. Ok. Let us park the pandemics for some time and talk about our eyesight. The average human eyesight is 20/20. People with 20/30 vision don't get a driving license in most countries. Anything around 20/1000 is considered blindness.

What about our mindsight? Is it 20/20? Much lesser. This book teaches you how to improve your mind-sight. This book introduces four different lenses. These lenses improve the mind's vision significantly.

Let's talk about hunger now. Whenever we are hungry, our stomach sends multiple signals to the whole body. Immediately, our eyes start the search operation, and our tongue joins the mission with the taste sensors. The nose filters out the smells and the mouth begins to secrete the saliva. The whole body works in tandem until we finish a plate or two. Most of the time, over-cooperation results in super binging. What about our brain? Is it endowed with all these facilities? How do you know when the brain is hungry? How do you sense if someone feeds it toxic food?

All successful leaders in the world have a Mind Position System™ fitted to their brains. The mid positioning system helps them to navigate through any tough and uncomfortable situation. You can also get this if you want. This book teaches you how to install one.

Three aspects define your personality:

What you have

What you drop

What you pick

The foundational qualities you need to have:

High Ambition

A strong Belief system

Clarity on goals and ambitions

Undeterred Discipline

ABCDs™ in short.

The thoughts you need to drop:

Unrealistic Expectations

Unfounded Fear

Greed

Hatred

EFGH in short.

You need to pick four quotients (or lenses):

 1. Consciousness Quotient

 2. Environmental Quotient

 3. Digital Quotient

 4. Number Quotient

The Growth Quotient ™ teaches the modern-day manager how to win in the age of robots and the era of Corona. This book empowers leaders with a blend of immutable principles and cutting edge technology tools. The reader will understand the critical elements required for sustained growth and celebrated success.

That's not all. You will learn to apply the following time tested methods at your workplace:

GRIT method to achieve your goals

OPEN method for better communication

A SIMPLE method for effective communication and presentation

PATH method to get customer delight

HEAL method to heal the wounded clients and team members

SUIT method to resolve team conflicts

CALM method to overcome fear

The world is changing rapidly. Most of the skillsets we use today will be irrelevant very soon. Several jobs that exist today will be extinct. AI-powered apps and robots will replace all of them.

Part of the Growth Engineering Master Series of self-help books, this empowering and insightful volume is packed with advice for businesses and individuals seeking growth in the modern age. The text teaches everything from effective goal setting to risk management and personality traits that lay a foundation for success, making it a fully comprehensive guidebook for anyone looking to get ahead in the business world, and most importantly still have an edge over robotic and automated technologies.

Author Suram has produced a fantastic guidebook that will be an insightful read for any business-minded person looking for new advice and concepts for success. One of the things which most impressed me is the fact that the volume is filled with lots of different concepts and techniques, rather than just focusing on one repetitive idea. This means that there are multiple approaches that readers can choose to take within the same conceptual framework, and they will be sure to find many that suit them as the reading continues. The work is presented in a clear format which will make it easy to cross-reference and return to particular concepts in order to apply them, and I found the new coinage of terms and jargon that the author uses very easy to access. Overall, I would certainly recommend The Growth Quotient: How to achieve sustainable professional growth and development to anyone seeking betterment and improvement for their business future.
