PART ONE (1):

In the article, How Companies Can Profit from a “Growth Mindset”, there are a great number of benefits to encouraging employees and team members to grow and develop their skills, talents, and competencies.

You are a new manager in a company that believes in a fixed mindset approach. Through your own professional development over the years, you have worked to develop a growth mindset for yourself. Now that you’re in a leadership role, how could you go about creating change within your new department and encouraging your company to foster a growth mindset?

For instance, how would you deliver feedback to your team members that would promote a growth mindset?​

Note – You can learn more about mindset and growth mindset in Chapter 7 of the webtext. Here is also a short YouTube video to learn more too: https://youtu.be/KUWn_TJTrnU

*** At least 8 sentences ***

PART TWO (2):

Respond to a Classmate down below:

To create a growth mindset, I would first let my employees know that all of them are very valuable to me, and without them doing their job, none of this would be possible. Praising the employees and letting them know that they are essential will hopefully convince them to do their job and beyond. I will also make sure to let them know about the opportunity for advancement. I would give them bonuses and rewards for them striving to be better. I would have a meeting every Thursday to make sure that I am doing all I can as their Leader so that they can do their best. I would also work just as hard as them because sometimes you have to lead by example.
