Need help with my Office plant and it’s new growth

How can I let the new growth continue and save the upper part of this plant. thanks

Hi,

Plant-1-1

If it were my plant, I would cut the stem right above the new growth. The plant (Dracaena marginata) is very bare at the bottom with thinning stalks that will only get worse as time goes by.  The new growth will grow quickly one you cut off the top part and the plant will look much better.
