DR. CAROL DWECK
MINDSET AND COMPANY CULTURE “We know from our studies that people with the fixed mindset do not admit and correct their deficiencies. And a company that cannot self-correct cannot survive . . . Instead of learning, growing, and moving the company forward, everyone starts worrying about being judged . . . It’s hard for courage and innovation to survive a company-wide fixed mindset.”
DR. CAROL DWECK
MINDSET AND LEADERSHIP “In the fixed mindset it’s not enough just to succeed. It’s not enough just to look smart and talented. You have to be pretty much flawless. And you have to be flawless right away... After all, if you have it you have it, and if you don’t you don’t... This desire to think of yourself as perfect is often called CEO disease.”
DR. CAROL DWECK
HOW LEADERSHIP INFLUENCES CULTURE
CULTURE IS FRACTAL IN NATURE Values are the governing and unifying pattern across scales
LEADERS’ BELIEFS SHAPE COMPANY CULTURE
UNCONSCIOUS BELIEFS CAN HAVE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES
CULTIVATING CONSCIOUS LEADERSHIP
BEGIN WITH SELF AWARENESS 01
Only by gaining greater understanding of our own beliefs, gifts, edges, and fears can we lead from our full potential.
LEAD BY EXAMPLE 02
Growth mindset cultures succeed because leaders transparently engage in the growth process. o This requires courage and self-appreciation.
FOSTER ALIGNMENT ACROSS SCALES 03
Create systems for mentoring and accountability at all levels of your organization.
COMMIT TO ONGOING EVOLUTION 04
As your organization evolves and shifts states, so must you as a leader to continue to serve the changing needs of your business.
