Growth Mindset and People Manager

I firmly believe in the value of a growth mindset within the professional arena. Why? A growth mindset not only serves as a foundation for organizational leaders to be receptive to feedback from their top-performing teams but also fosters mutual growth. As leaders evolve and strengthen their abilities, teams feel valued and heard. Continual self-improvement is a journey we’re all on, and none of us have reached perfection. Embracing a growth mindset is the catalyst that propels us toward becoming exceptional managers.

How to Actually applying Growth Mindset

The specifics can be highly contextual when we discuss actionable terms. However, from a conceptual standpoint, consider the following:

• Set high standards and nurture the team to meet them.
• Challenge and support simultaneously.
• Ensure full preparation and maximum effort.
• Recognize that we never remain static; we are either improving or declining.
• The journey to improvement should include:
  • Investing in hard work.
  • Experimenting with various strategies to discover the most effective one.
  • Seeking feedback to refine the process.
  • Facilitating skill acquisition. This also means setting challenging yet attainable targets.
