GROWTH Mindset Enablers
‘Growth mindset is a frame of mind - the continuous belief that
improvement is possible and that failures are opportunities to learn’
Carol Dweck
q Fostering a culture around good habits and practices - hard work, good strategies
and input from others where all employees are seen to have potential. Developing
people who are eager to learn, challenge themselves and experiment, which eventually
boosts their performance.
q Weaving growth mindset thinking into your employee experience across
onboarding, recruitment, succession planning, leadership development and career
planning
q Encouraging life long learning by creating work environments and practices that
enable employees, regardless of their role, to develop new skills and learn by working
with others, by problem solving and experimentation.
q Organisation support for collaboration across organisation boundaries, sharing
information and encouraging innovation to create value together.
q Encouraging appropriate risk taking, knowing that some risks will not work out and
creating the psychologically safe space for people to share errors to learn.
q Support growth mindset values with policies, resources and leadership buy in
q Develop an approach to performance reviews based upon a growth mindset; to build
on potential and manage performance for teams and individuals. Establish a system of
goals, projects and development options for Reports. Focus on expertise, attributes,
skills, knowledge and business contribution. Show areas for development and significant
achievements. Use for all employees and also for alumni as they leave. Establish a series
of enablers to support this system for individual and team growth.
