“Opportunities for leadership are all around us. The capacity for leadership is deep within us.” M Albright\n\nDo you believe leaders are born (fixed mindset) or leaders are made (growth mindset)? A person’s belief about this creates his/her reality.\n\n“The philosophy you have about human potential matters a lot. If you believe that talent is innate, then feedback becomes a threat, stretch opportunities are dangerous and others’ success is a problem. If you believe talent can be developed and intelligence isn’t fixed you are able to process information differently,” according to Neuroleadership expert David Rock.\n\nPeople with a growth mindset believe it is possible to get better and improve. They embrace challenges and are persistent. The believe effort is the path to mastery. They welcome feedback as a learning opportunity. With this mindset comes a gain in leadership confidence.\n\nIf you are a leader, find ways to encourage a growth mindset in your people. Ask yourself,\n
- \n
- How are goals stated?
- How is feedback delivered?
- What is measured/acknowledged?
