...and not just in the workplace - according to researchers & psychologists
Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol S. Dweck, is based on her continuous research at Standford University. It reveals that individuals with an open attitude to growth and developmen have a stronger likelihood to evolve. And this 'mindset' enables them to quickly adapt to circumstances and learn from their mistakes by seeing these as opportunities for that very growth. The New York Times has an interesting summary.
These findings are also supported by research shared in the book, tribal leadership, which I mentioned in a previous post.
If you have an organisation that is led by values, and corresponding individuals are recruited to reflect these philosophies and a desire for growth and sharing, then you will have something really, really great. These statements are corroborated by the fantastic book called spiritual capital.
These finds are worth reading - if you can borrow the books, otherwise it may be worth bying to share! well worth reading.
