Klimov E.A.(2007).About nonlinearity of the professional development process. Moscow University Psychology Bulletin,3,102-108

In fact, as we see in biographies of successful professionals, professional development is a nonlinear process, which specifically takes place in an effort to overcome situations of uncertainty, and is characterized as an intermittent (“start-stop”) process.
