Sorry, Not Sorry: What is a Growth Mindset?
SESSION INFO
Monday, August 23, 2021
3:00PM - 4:30PM
Session Type: Workshop
Now that we have stopped apologizing, we need to start talking about how to empower ourselves and model it to guide those around us onto a leadership pathway. Leaders have many responsibilities; on top of the list should always be identifying talent and creating a transparent process. Professional development, emotional intelligence, and challenge-driven outcomes must be the norm. Leaders motivate, cultivate, and inspire, and this is more important than ever as we deal with the daily burnout and uncertainties of COVID 19. So how can leaders accomplish these vital tasks? According to Carol Dweck, author of Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, one way is for leaders to have the right mindset, a growth mindset. A leader with a growth mindset sees opportunities for their team and makes every effort to accelerate the team's growth to overcome challenges, create situational awareness, encourage and support professional advancement. Changing your mindset can be a game-changer.
