As organizations continue to evolve, mature, and meet the ever-changing demands of our economy, mindset must be part of organizational DNA and strategy. Mindset cannot be something at the leadership level alone; it must trickle through the organization daily and infuse every decision-making process at every level.  We talk about mindset a lot – but when the rubber meets the road, we fall from a growth mindset back to a fixed mindset. For HR to be successful today, a growth mindset is not only nice to have but a MUST.

WHAT IS GROWTH MINDSET?

Try these on for size:

“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.” – Albert Einstein

“Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.” – Henry Ford

“It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.” – Walt Disney

These resonate with you if you’ve adopted a growth mindset; they fall flat or seem “risky” if you have a fixed mindset. Even if it doesn’t come naturally to you, Growth Mindset is a muscle you can develop, tone, and flex to keep it strong. And here’s the key: it will make you INVALUABLE as a leader and as an employee.

LEAPGEN’S EQUATION FOR SUCCESS

That’s why Leapgen’s unique and differentiating Equation for Success addresses Mindset first, long before a Technology transition is even considered or approached. When you start with a clean slate, you’re able to ask yourself important questions that will allow you to sustain meaningful change over the long haul:

• Why are we doing what we’re doing?
• Where do we want to be as our organization evolves?
• What needs to be approached in a different way?
• What can technology do for us to change experience overall?

True transformation and sustainable change are only possible when you adopt a growth mindset. Take a listen to my thoughts here.
