The tl;dr is that 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 and 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 are two different things." - straight to the point. Growth is something which is owned by individuals - you own your own career (aka growth) and must be supported by your manager/company.

What often is missing is recognition and incentive to grow within a level without the necessary target of a future promotion. This creates then a promotion culture in which individual and managers alike are incentivized to promotion as 1st class citizen. Growth should be 1st class citizen while promotion is a possible effect.
