4. WHAT IS CAREER?

OmInstituteofTechnology
The progress and
actions taken by a
person throughout a
lifetime, especially those
related to that person's
occupations.
I would define Career and Life Vision as simply this:
To be able to see your work and career –
what you do and where you do it - in a way that is personally
meaningful, stimulating, inspiring and fulfilling and in alignment with
who you are. .

10. An acquisitive career
is one in which the career-seeker is focused on acquiring
higher position, higher salary, more benefits, etc.
This preoccupation with selfish interests often
damages the individual’s career, and equally important,
damages the organization and society.
A contributive career
is one where the career-seeker is focused on
contributing, with rewards being a by-product of the
contributions made. 10

OmInstituteofTechnology

vision

growth vision

CONTRIBUTIVE

12. REWARD VISION &
OPPORTUNITY VISION
12
OmInstituteofTechnology
In reward vision, rewards are more
important than quality of work and one’s
development in the job.
But in opportunity vision, a person grabs
opportunities to face challenges and thinks
about one’s own development rather than
salary and perks.

13. DOMAIN VISION &
PURPOSE VISION
13
OmInstituteofTechnology
A domain oriented non-contributor is bound
in his/her domain of training, and is unwilling
to go beyond that.
But a purpose oriented Contributor is goal-
focused, and is thus willing to learn and do
whatever it takes to serve the purpose.

14. COMFORT ZONE VISION &
CAPACITY EXPANSION VISION
14
OmInstituteofTechnology
The Non-contributor rigidly sticks to
his/her given job description and his/her
‘comfort zone’.
The Contributor is willing to try out and
learn new things, diversify if needed,
volunteer for new responsibilities, take
on new roles – thus expanding his/her
‘capacity’.

15. EXTERNAL GROWTH VISION &
EXTERNAL + INTERNAL GROWTH VISION
15
OmInstituteofTechnology
The Non-contributor recognizes
and chases only ‘external’ growth.
The Contributor recognizes and
seeks both external growth as well
as inner growth within him/her self.
