The Growth Mindset Edge

Learn and Boost your Business Growth

Research has shown that growth is more than just a strategy. Growth occurs when the right type of leadership, internal environment and processes collide to create a small-company with an entrepreneurial soul in a large-company body. Growth demands:

• Experimentation
• Leadership that accepts failures
• Internal processes that mitigate the natural biases of human beings and organizations

Growth is not linear or predictable. Growth is a meaningful change process that requires experimentation, learning and taking measured risks that may result in mistakes and failure that counteracts the purpose of an organization, which is to produce standardization, predictability, reliability, and consistency.

There is a difference between the mindset, environments and processes that foster growth and the mindset, environments and processes that facilitate exploitative performance. The challenge is to manage the differences between them while producing growth exploration and exploitative execution.

Steady business growth thrives when leadership:

• Creates an organizational environment that nurtures growth behaviors and restrains culture that inhibits growth

• Models behavior that facilitates growth

An empowering organizational environment organically establishes an internal growth system which enables both individual and organizational growth mindsets, behaviors, and utilization of growth processes. Consequently ushering meaningful change that is impactful and lasting to your business and community of clients.

Growth-driven organizations align strategy, structure, culture, leadership and processes to promote growth behaviors. Behaviors produce financial results; financial results do not produce growth behaviors. When an organization celebrates growth behavior, a positive message from within the core of the organization affirms that the organization is headed in the proper direction. Likewise when behaviors that inhibit growth occur they should be swiftly dealt with.

Companies that nurture growth and experience meaningful change produce a highly engaged workforce, humble and passionate leaders and a learning environment of constant improvement. Creating and maintaining a growth mindset is challenging, nevertheless it can easily become a competitive advantage. Managing a growth system within an organization requires thoughtful attention to actions, policies and communications to ensure consistency. This is crucial because inconsistencies create hypocrisy and dismantle trust.
