New York Management Group's Career-Mindedness Brings Growth

The leadership team at New York Management Group emphasizes career mindfulness for associates and interns. The firm's president discussed this and how upward mobility keeps the company and its people moving forward.

“In business, you’re either growing or you’re dying – there really isn’t any middle ground,” explained New York Management Group’s president. “With this in mind, we set company goals to keep the firm moving forward. A lot of leaders forget that a business is a collection of people, and that if they want their businesses to grow they have to help their people grow.”

It is from this perspective that New York Management Group’s leadership team seeks out career-oriented professionals to join their ranks, and then continues to promote career mindfulness to those with whom they work. “I think people should always be thinking about where they want to be in the future, always thinking about their next steps. It’s what keeps people moving forward. If they don’t have a next step planned, they’re not going anywhere – and neither is the company.”

"In business, you're either growing or you're dying - there really isn't any middle ground,"

Rather than browbeat his people into setting career goals, New York Management Group’s president takes a different approach. “I find it easier and more productive to simply point out the benefits of having a fulfilling career,” he said. “For example, if you’re on a meaningful path you’re going to enhance both your personal and professional relationships. Your enthusiasm for what you do and who you are will be both contagious and attractive.”

Not only that, but it’s much easier to achieve the outward trappings of success when there’s a personal connection. “When people have career goals that are important to them, it’s much easier to put in the time and effort it takes to succeed. This creates a winning situation for the company as well, because the firm succeeds in relation to how engaged its people are in both company goals and their own objectives.”

New York Management Groups President Shares Career Strategies for Interns

New York Management Group’s president stated that even at the intern stage it’s appropriate to start making career plans. For him, college represents the perfect time to start building a professional network and researching potential mentors. Also, while the process of developing a personal brand can take a whole lifetime, the college years are perfect for reflection and soul-searching. “I suggest that interns get to the cores of who they are to develop the foundations for authentic but ever-evolving personal brands.”

On the other hand, he does remind his interns not to worry too much about making mistakes. “This is the time to experiment with what may or may not work. If an intern tries something out and doesn’t like it, I tell him or her ‘That’s great!’ That’s one less thing that will trip you up while you work toward achieving your dreams.”
