Leading with a Growth Mindset — Joyce Schroeder, Flourishing Cultures Consultants
Joyce Schroeder, President of Flourishing Culture Consultants, LLC shared Carol Dweck’s research in mindset and offered a discussion about the relationship between organizational culture and how the brain works. This laid the groundwork for her presentation of the Microsoft case study, an organization that changed its culture by applying Dr. Dweck’s research. Key to any change initiative is the role of leadership. Throughout the webinar, Joyce talked about leaders owning the culture and offered activities, which encouraged participants to “look in the mirror.”
In this webinar, attendees learned:
- Organizational leaders are shapers of culture;
- The difference between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset;
- How the mindset you adopt has a profound impact on your performance; and
- How an organization transformed the way it worked by adopting a growth mindset.
