A growth mindset is at the core of the ideal team player and culture. Growth mindsets see failures and setbacks as major learning opportunities to improve—and this provides a culture of trust and curiosity rather than fear and playing small. Growth mindsets triumph over the status quo and lead to great creativity and innovation. Here are three simple mental shifts to be a growth mindset leader and culture:

 

1.  We either win or we improve (not we lost and are shutting down)

2.  There’s got to be a better way (not we have always done it that way)

3.  Challenges help us grow (not we can’t do this)
