She helped shine the light on how a fixed mindset leads to a desire to prove oneself by winning, while a growth mindset leads to a desire to improve oneself by learning.
A few months ago, I highlighted a podcast that outlined some of the scientific evidence showing how a growth mindset can create a better workplace. In essence, mindsets aren’t limited to individuals as an organization can have a cultural mindset that influences everyone.
I recently came across this study that focused on how an organizational growth mindset leads to better individual and company performance. Three key insights from this study include:
- Employees with a growth mindset are more open to feedback, which means they’re more likely to improve.
- Managers with a growth mindset are better performance evaluators.
- A culture of growth mindset improves team collaboration.
For the leadership coaches and organizational development specialists who read Wisdom Well, I think you’ll find this NeuroLeadership Institute study particularly fascinating.
