Progress or Constipation?

Jim Cushing talks about three phases in his Personal Progress blog today: Inquisitive, Complacent, and Emboldened.

I often find it more productive to look at the stages of personal progress via the classic growth cycle of childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and senescence.

Alas, when I look at things that way, I sometimes get sad since I see that (all too many people and organizations in) our industry are stuck in the child and adolescent stages.
