Growth Mindset

We explored how encouraging autonomous cultures through growth-mindset framing is key for thriving workplaces, for ourselves and for those we lead.

HOMEWORK

What is a contracted view of your identity as leader?
How could you embrace a growth mindset and instead visualize it as expansive?

Consider the growth mindset principles of IQ, motivation, effort, acceptance, inspiration and feedback.
Find a narrative expression to help you tell the story (e.g. found or created visuals)

How can you directly support a growth mindset and a healthy, autonomous culture?

Make space for your team to stretch during the goal-setting process.
- People might surprise you with higher aims than what you have in mind.
Asset frame where you can!
- In setting challenges and/or correcting course, start with positive language.
Ask what’s working — and what’s not. Ask what they need most to grow.
Hold (and stick to!) office hours.
- Allot a certain amount of time per month (or quarter). Let your team know this time is for them, and that they can book up to (X) amount of time. (Use Calendly or another tool to make it easy for both of you.)
