Personal growth initiative (PGI) is a
person’s global inclination to intentionally improve
one’s self in different areas of his or her life. It is
a skill set that every person carries into life
experiences that influences each person to seek out
opportunities for growth and to capitalize on those
opportunities by engaging in intentional efforts to
personally change and improve.
Recent research on PGI has identified
four areas that are essential to the intentional
personal growth process. These areas are:
-
Planfulness:
Intentions and actions related to planning for personal
change
-
Readiness for Change:
Aspects of preparedness for making specific changes in
one’s self
-
Using Resources:
Obtaining assistance from resources outside one’s self
-
Intentional Behavior:
Intentional action aimed at producing personal growth
