Session: Applying a Growth Mindset to Stay Competitive
With the fast pace of change in the digital age, innovation and continuous improvement are critical for personal and organizational success. This means we must apply a growth mindset and emphasize the importance of learning through experimentation, receiving frequent feedback, and seeing failures as opportunities to improve and grow. How do we develop environments that support continuous learning and improvement? What does this mean to you as an individual and as a leader? In this presentation we will share several considerations that leaders and managers can apply in their organization. These considerations can help build an atmosphere and culture of learning, where employees feel empowered to give their best every day. Key questions for you to consider and coaching tips are provided to help you think through your next steps in applying a growth mindset. To survive into today’s world and remain competitive we must continuously learn, innovate, and deliver value to our customers. Applying a growth mindset is the foundation for this success.
