4 Ways to Foster a Growth Mindset in Your Team #shorts

Hi dear friends, for this week's tip on flourishing at work, I invite you to cultivate a growth mindset for yourself and for your team members. Now we know from research done by Carol Dweck, who coined this word, that those with a growth mindset are more resilient, are more adaptable, are more innovative and creative, are more productive, can collaborate better and continuously learn and problem solve their way to successful outcomes. So here are ways in which you could cultivate this for your teams. Number one Celebrate effort and learning as much, if not more as you celebrate outcomes. Second, reframe failures as learning opportunities. What can we learn from this? How can we fail? Forward safely and fast towards an answer so that they will take the risks that need to be taken for us to grow. 3. Encourage knowledge sharing and continuous feedback instead of knowledge holding or once a year feedbacks. When team members see feedback and knowledge as truly ways to continue getting better versus defects that need to be fixed, they will lean in to taking more risks, to stretching and continue to learn. And just like that, harness a growth mindset that will allow them to flourish at work.
