Many of our Catalyst transformation projects require the need for our clients to change approaches, behaviours mindsets and learn new skills for enhanced performance and impact. As consultants we also need to be really curious, open to new information and ideas and willing to continuously reassess and reinvent ourselves in different environments to find that ideal match of solution to client needs and readiness. Our most awesome results happen in environments where the team and leaders that we are working in partnership with (and ourselves), embrace the Growth Mindset and challenge each other and the business way of doing things robustly and constructively.
Carol Dweck in her recent blog (which you can read by clicking on this link https://hbr.org/2016/01/what-having-a-growth-mindset-actually-means) reminds us how a growth mindset is so important to really embrace change, feedback, fresh thinking and move ahead with the times and how to be aware of the False Growth Mindset! Happy reading.
