Here's how you can cultivate a growth mindset to thrive in the future workplace.

To cultivate a growth mindset, first, you need to realize its importance for your overall career progress. Once you realize it, look for opportunities to go out of your comfort zone. These opportunities are everywhere, but you need to seek them out yourself—don’t wait for someone to push you out of your comfort zone. Ask for challenging tasks and don’t worry about failing because there is no one on earth who doesn’t make mistakes, except God! Embrace every mistake as a learning experience, as this is how you build your experiences and learn new ways to accomplish your tasks. Offer help to others, and while you are doing more, you will learn more. And remember, no risk, no fun 😊

To cultivate a growth mindset, you should reframe a failure or setback as a learning experience. What can you do to learn from your failure? Do you need to develop new skills, relationships, or networks? Also you need to view growth through various dimensions. When one dimension seems blocked, can you grow in a different way, such as through education, or a volunteer organization?

Die heutige Wirtschaftswelt ist wie ein reißender Fluss - man muss immer in Bewegung bleiben, um nicht irgendwo hingespült zu werden, wo man nie hinwollte. Was bis heute nachweislich gut funktioniert hat, kann morgen oder übermorgen durch selbst nicht beeinflussbare Faktoren überholt sein - Veränderungen sind seit jeher ein fester Bestandteil allen Lebens und müssen laufend antizipiert werden. Der Gamechanger ist die vollständige Beseitigung des "Das-haben-wir-aber-immer-so-gemacht"-Mindsets. Wir müssen den so denkenden und handelnden Menschen helfen, den Blick stärker nach vorn zu richten. Und uns ggf. von denen trennen, die dazu nicht bereit sind.

Embracing change, especially in a new workplace, is often more challenging than we anticipate. Just as a product must find its market fit to thrive, an individual must establish their fit within the company to achieve growth and success. I call it achieving personal company fit - PCF. Achieving PCF is a dynamic, ongoing process that involves self-assessment and adaptation, requiring individuals to step out of their comfort zones, take on new challenges, and learn from their experiences. Rather than merely fitting into the role you were hired for, a growth mindset is to define a challenging role for yourself within the organization by bringing your authentic self.

Unser Alltag ist geprägt von Veränderungen. Diesen können wir uns ergeben oder wir können diese aktiv mitgestalten. Schritt Nummer 1 ist hierbei die Veränderung zu verstehen und zu analysieren. Was bedeutet diese für mich persönlich und mein Umfeld? Welche Chancen und Risiken bringt diese mit sich? Und wie begegne ich diesen? Je besser die Veränderung verstanden wird, desto größer ist mein Einflussbereich und desto kleiner mein Risiko. Und je öfter ich diesen Prozess durchlaufe, desto resilienter werde ich.

A lack of growth mindset stems from a fear of failure. If you want to tackle the problem at its foundation - you need to seek out failure. Find something that you are absolutely going to be bad at and do it anyway. People with a growth mindset are not threatened by being bad at something - they are excited by having a new thing to learn.

Challenging yourself can be a great way to promote career growth.One of the key benefits of taking on new challenges is that you get to experience something that takes you to different level of learning skills.

Die eigene Komfortzone ist uns selbst nur allzu gut bekannt. Unwahrscheinlich, dass wir in diesem Bereich noch sehr viel Neues finden werden. Gehen wir jedoch bewusst aus unserer Komfortzone heraus, erweitern wir unseren Horizont und somit auch unser "Spielfeld" auf dem wir zuhause sind. Wir trainieren unseren "Veränderungs-Muskel". Tun wir dies regelmäßig reduzieren wir unseren Stresspegel gegenüber Neuem. Auch wenn wir dieses Neue nicht selbst initiiert haben. Was wenn du mit einem ganz neuen Selbstverständnis in die Veränderung gehen würdest? Denn du hast zuvor ja schon so viel gemeistert... warum sollte das jetzt ein Problem werden?

Tackling difficult tasks forces you to learn new skills and acquire knowledge, expanding your capabilities and understanding. Facing and overcoming challenges helps build mental and emotional resilience, making you more adept at handling future difficulties. Engaging with tough tasks teaches persistence and perseverance, essential traits for long-term success. Successfully navigating challenges boosts self-confidence, reinforcing the belief that effort leads to improvement. Viewing challenges as opportunities rather than threats encourages a positive outlook, reducing fear of failure and promoting a can-do attitude. Consistently taking on new tasks gradually expands your comfort zone, making you adaptable and open to new experiences.

🌟 Solve problems: Leaders who are constantly seeking challenges are better at problem-solving. They are used to thinking outside the box and coming up with creative solutions. ⚡ Stay ahead of the curve: The business world is constantly changing. Leaders who are not willing to adapt will be left behind. By seeking challenges, leaders can stay ahead of the curve and ensure that their organizations are successful.

Continuous learning is the ongoing expansion of knowledge and skill sets.Continuous learning initiatives in the workplace have the potential to increase job satisfaction and knowledge retention. To stay competitive, organizations must continually adapt to changing social and economic environments.

🔥Embracing Challenges: Stepping outside your comfort zone to learn something new demonstrates a belief that you can improve and develop your abilities. It shows you're not afraid of challenges but see them as opportunities for growth. 💎Effort Leads to Improvement: A growth mindset understands that mastery takes time and effort. Learning a new skillset requires dedication and perseverance, which a growth mindset fosters. You're actively seeking ways to improve, not dwelling on limitations.

Life is meant to be a learning experience from beginning to end. The moment we lose our curiosity and desire to improve, we become stagnant. This is especially true for leaders. As leaders, we have the opportunity to not only learn but also constantly share our learnings with others. It is through sharing that the learning actually takes hold within us. They become foundational, and we can build upon them. Reading a powerful new leadership book (i.e., Dare to Lead or Discover Your True North) will help us, and sharing those concepts with others will make the learnings part of our core. It is our pathway to constantly up-leveling the best version of ourselves we bring to every leadership moment.

A growth mindset is crucial for workplace success, promoting resilience, creativity, and continuous learning, providing a competitive advantage and enabling employees to tackle complex problems. • Embrace Continuous Learning: Seek opportunities to develop new skills. • Reframe Challenges as Opportunities: View obstacles as learning opportunities. • Collaborate and Seek Diverse Perspectives: Expand personal experiences. • Experiment and Take Smart Risks: Step outside comfort zone. • Focus on Progress Over Perfection: Celebrate small wins and milestones. • Develop Resilience and Adaptability: Embrace change as growth opportunity. • Maintain a flexible, agile mindset for uncertain futures.

Vorbereitet sein und am Puls der Zeit leben. Dafür ist das lebenslange Lernen unabdingbar. Es gibt dir die Möglichkeit neue Perspektiven zu erschließen. Von Experten zu lernen. Und das in einem Setting und zu einer Zeit, die du im Idealfall selbst gewählt hast. Setze dir regelmäßig Ziele, die du erreichen möchtest und identifiziere dann, welche Ressourcen und Kompetenzen dir aktuell noch fehlen, um diese zu erreichen. Und dann geh in die Umsetzung.

Be a 'Feedback receptor' and not a 'Feedback repeller'. Take any feedback as gift without judging the tone of the person giving the feedback, reflect on it , improve if required and let the person know to call it out again if the he/she sees the same pattern repeating.

Muitos falam bem dos feedbacks, mas a maioria ainda sente desconforto em dar ou receber. O fato é que dar ou receber um feedback com qualidade exige muita habilidade de comunicação, por isso o desconforto. Ainda é difícil encontrar pessoas com inteligência emocional e habilidade de comunicação - quanto 2 profissionais que possuem essas habilidades se encontram, o desenvolvimento de ambos acontece naturalmente.

Feedback ist ein wichtiges Werkzeug für Führungskräfte. Doch nicht nur "Feedback geben" ist für dich hierbei relevant. Hol dir aktiv Feedback von deinen Mitarbeitern und Kollegen ein. Lerne aus diesem, nachdem du das Feedback gefiltert hast. Du musst nicht alles umsetzen und verändern, was dir gespiegelt wird, sondern nur das, was für dich relevant ist. Nutze auch die Möglichkeit dir ein Feedback zu deinen initiierten Veränderungen einzuholen. Das zeigt nochmal zusätzliche Wertschätzung gegenüber dem "Feedbacker". Schließlich hast du dir sein Feedback zu Herzen genommen.

Cultivar uma mentalidade de crescimento no ambiente de trabalho, como defendido por Carol Dweck em "Mindset: A Nova Psicologia do Sucesso", é fundamental para se desenvolver e crescer. Central nessa abordagem está a aceitação e a valorização do feedback como uma ferramenta poderosa de desenvolvimento pessoal e profissional. Em vez de encarar críticas como ataques pessoais, é essencial vê-las como oportunidades para aprender e melhorar. Ao adotar essa abordagem, não apenas nos tornamos mais resilientes e flexíveis no enfrentamento das demandas, mas também contribuímos para um ambiente mais colaborativo, inovador e positivo para todos os membros da equipe.

Hear the person out, and listen to what they are really saying. You can absorb more information if you are concentrating on listening and understanding rather than being defensive and focusing on your response.

Harte Arbeit will belohnt werden. Erfolge zu feiern schweißt zusammen. In diesem Zuge darf dann auch gerne reflektiert werden mit welchen Themen ihr konfrontiert wurdet und wie ihr diese gemeistert habt. Als Führungskraft darfst du hierbei das Team in den Vordergrund stellen. Schenke ihnen Selbstvertrauen. Dass du selbst auch einen sehr großen Anteil am Erfolg hattest platzierst du zu einer anderen Zeit. Zum Beispiel wenn du deinen Projektabschluss-Bericht inklusive Analyse abgibst oder vorstellst.

La reflexión se puede convertir en tu mejor herramienta de aprendizaje. Tanto si consigues los objetivos como si no lo haces, reflexiona después de cada hito. Analiza todos tus aprendizajes, qué cosas han funcionado, qué cosas no lo han hecho, que cosas deberías mantener para siguientes pasos, qué cosas deberías desactivar y qué cosas que no has hecho podrías haber realizado para tener un mayor desempeño.

You need to come at this prepared to embrace challenges, learn from feedback, and persist through setbacks. It has to be a curiosity-driven approach, where you're actively seeking new knowledge and experiences. Collaboration and adaptability are key; engage with diverse teams and remain open to new perspectives. Celebrate your progress, no matter how small, and seek constructive criticism to refine your abilities. If you maintaining a proactive and resilient attitude, it is much easier to navigate the future workplace with confidence and success.

Embrace Challenges: See challenges as opportunities to learn and grow. Instead of avoiding difficult tasks, tackle them head-on and view them as a chance to improve your skills. Learn from Criticism: Take feedback positively and use it to enhance your performance. Constructive criticism is a valuable tool for personal and professional growth. Celebrate Effort, Not Just Results: Recognize and reward the effort you put into tasks, even if the outcome isn't perfect. Acknowledging hard work reinforces the value of persistence and dedication.

At the bigger picture, and longer term, we have to get comfortable with going with the flow sometimes. We get too caught up in habits and that inhibits willingness to evolve. However, the world around us changes from decade to decade and the past tends to become irrelevant. Likewise, work is changing. Covid taught us that a global crisis can almost overnight change how we work across all industries. And we did adapt for continuity. The evolution of work now continues to evolve accelerated by the era of technological advances and digitalization. A lot of what the future holds for work is unpredictable but if we stay agile to go with the flow, that is the beginning of embracing change. That might be sufficient to stay relevant.
