Achievement Orientation

 Achievement Orientation

(Emotional Management for Personal & Professional Growth Series)

One of the emotional intelligence competencies for aspiring managers or leaders should develop “Achievement orientation.”

What is Achievement orientation?

Achievement orientation is a combination of mindset and practices to accomplish the task or moving towards achievement. It ranges from small task completion to achieving something meaningful in life as a broad context.

You might have observed some people are continuously progressing in the life journey, and some people are stagnant at some point in time. In my opinion, regardless of the field of work, environment, and external  challenges, the clear  differentiation between a highly growth-oriented person and a mediocre person is “Orientation intensity towards achievement.”

You might have experienced some of the scenarios in the professional environment.

1. Some people can get things done amidst all the challenges.
2. When you assign some tasks to someone, he/she will finish it, and your intervention or follow-ups would be relatively less.
3. Some people would complete the task due to follow-up/reminders, or the quality of work may not be up to the expectation.
4. Even at your level, you may be finding joy to do some task and, in some task, you do not find yourself enjoying. You will be wondering how to keep your motivation high all the time.

One of the challenges for  most professionals is "How to be in highly motivated level at an individual level and keep others to accomplish more?"

1. What motivates us to progress continuously?
