Growth Mindset: The Key to Strategic Development
Dr. Abbey Davis - Director for the Center for the Future of Work, Spears School of Business, and Assistant Professor of Practice, Oklahoma State University
We know that developing our employees is the key to building an engaged workforce and a high-performance culture, but we often overlook the most basic element of talent development…starting with a belief in human potential. In this workshop we will unpack the work of three influential researchers on the topics of growth mindset, deliberate practice, and grit that are key to fostering deliberately developmental cultures. Module 1: Growth vs. Fixed Mindset Leaning on the work of Dr. Carol Dweck we’ll explore the research behind growth mindset and learn how a few simple words can both promote or hinder a growth mindset in our employees. We’ll also dive into two case studies of companies who through a series of fixed-minded decisions led to cultures that lacked psychologi - cal safety. We’ll unpack the components of psychological safety, and how growth-minded cultures support it. Module 2: The Elements of Deliberate Practice Next, we’ll focus on the work of Dr. Anders Ericsson and discuss the popular, yet widely debated, 10,000-hour rule and breakdown the elements of not just practice, but deliberate practice. Participants will even get a chance to try out one of Dr. Ericsson’s famous experiments. Module 3: Passion & Perseverance Finally, we’ll wrap up by learning about the concept of Grit coined by Dr. Angela Duckworth. We’ll unpack what it takes to survive beast barracks and what it takes to strengthen grit. These modules will equip participants with the knowledge they need to begin building deliberately developmental cultures. Participants will walk away with practical tips to promote a growth mindset not only with themselves, but with those they interact with every day. We will also introduce participants to numerous resources and tools to continue their growth minded journey after the workshop concludes. » KORN FERRY COMPETENCIES Strategic Mindset | Learning Agility | Drives results | Strategic mindset | Drives vision and purpose | Directs Work | Action Oriented
