From the book Culture Renovation by Kevin Oaks, CEO and Cofounder of i4cp - page 33
Describing the culture renovation of Microsoft after Satya Nadella became the CEO of Microsoft in 2014. Nadella attributes his success to the implementation of a growth mindset culture. He had learned the facts about a growth mindset culture from a book written by Carol Dweck, a Stanford psychology professor. That book was Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, published in 2007.
Fixed vs Growth Mindset
A fixed mindset leads to a desire to look smart and therefore a tenancy to:
- Give up easily
- See failures as fruitless or worse
- Ignore useful negative feedback
- Feel threatened by the success of others
- Avoid challenges
A growth mindset leads to a desire to learn and therefore a tendency to:
- Persist in the face of setbacks
- See failures as essential to mastery
- Learn from criticism
- Find lessons and inspiration in the success of others
- Embrace challenges with agility
