Inclusive Leadership: Master a Growth Mindset to Drive Success and Invigorate Your Team

You can’t win the game if you’re standing still. It’s an obvious point, but an essential one in our rapidly changing business environment. Highly successful executives are always looking for ways to improve themselves and their organization. They constantly ask, “What’s working? Where can we improve? What’s next?”  

This attitude is the essence of a growth mindset, and it’s a clear competitive advantage. Senior leaders who are open to new ideas are more likely to take risks that pay off, adapt quickly to new challenges, and leverage the power of their diverse workforce. 

For me, having a growth mindset is the single greatest skill that motivates and governs all other skills. I often describe this outlook as “competitive learning,” but the concept is the same–to push toward continuous improvement, to seek out mentors and coaches who will help you grow, and to embrace the fact that you can always get better.
