Cultures of growth ”promote learning, innovation, healthy risk-taking, and ethical decision-making. Managers can begin nurturing a culture of growth by understanding their team’s “mindset triggers” and tweaking how they deliver feedback.”
How ready is your team for the age of rapid change, rapid learning, increasing uncertainty?
How strong is your Growth Mindset culture?
“HUMAN GROWTH HACKING” – Talks, Workshops and Trainings, Methodology
“We need to create an organizational culture where our people feel it is safe to be vulnerable and take appropriate risks. Where everyone is committed to continuous learning and personal and team development. Where we regularly experiment, falling forward and failing fast. And where continuous feedback loops are embedded throughout the organization, reinforcing our continuous learning and growth culture.”
How Growth and Learning-Oriented is your team?
Each of your teammates? You?
Growth Mindset Index and other assessments will tell you that.
Are you building a culture of growth? Or a culture of genius?
In the words of Microsoft’s iconic CEO Satya Nadella, a culture of “learn it all” or “ a culture of “know it all”?
CHECK OUT: Growth Mindset Index from Carol Dweck, PhD.
Tony Schwartz argues [Forbes article] that, counterintuitively, “building a culture focused on performance may not be the best, healthiest, or most sustainable way to fuel results. Instead, it may be more effective to focus on creating a culture of growth.” He then outlines four organizational elements required to develop a growth culture that produces results: a safe environment, continuous learning, manageable experiments and continuous feedback. In essence, he is arguing for an organization that rewards appropriate risk-taking to drive innovation, and one in which everyone is always coaching and learning from each other.”
What’s your mindset?
What’s the mindset of your teammates?
