World Economic Forum – Growth Mindset is vital in 2025

johnwp — Thu, 30 Jan 2025 07:29:00 +0000

The WEF 2025 conference in Davos has wrapped up. In reviewing the commentary we weren’t surprised to see Growth Mindset as a key priority for business and government. Here;s an extract form Davos

Adopting an adaptive mindset is key

Technology is advancing at such a pace, it’s not just a matter of employees and organizations reskilling for the AI age. It’s an almost continuous learning process. Sevak talks about the “half-life of a skill” and how it is rapidly decreasing. He says that a skill learnt now is worth half the value of one learnt six years ago.

“I think leaders should be prioritizing adaptability to new external realities,” Sevak says. “The marketplaces are shifting faster and there are more geopolitical questions being raised. What’s the role of China? What are the regulations coming out of Europe? What are the different governmental changes that are happening in key markets? There are the technology changes, political changes, and certainly all of the shifts in the skilling and human capital side are such that having that adaptive spirit – not being so fixed or having a fixed mindset, but more of a growth mindset, or an adaptive mindset – is going to be particularly critical this year.”

Keep adapting and looking forward is also the advice of David Steinbach, CIO at the global retail investment management company Hines.

“Good decision-making is top of the list. I think it’s going to be easy to fall back into some old habits and to forget some of the lessons that we’ve all learned. It’s going to be easy to fall into recency bias. And I think that that’s probably the single biggest thing that investors need to be thinking about this year is not to fall prey to those.”

Microsoft CEO Nadella encourages learning

He said that he encouraged his people to go from know-it-alls to learn-it-alls.

“It’s a destination you never reach because the day you say ‘I have a growth mindset’ means you don’t have a growth mindset by definition,” he said.

Growth Mindset and the Future of Work

Read the latest research and information about how fostering a growth mindset can help future of work programs succeed. Click here for article.

The research of Prof Carol Dweck (Stanford University) has demonstrated that a growth mindset is essential to a person’s learning and development.

In this article we explore how growth mindset interventions can accelerate and deepen upskilling programs in a future of work context.

In the past, the choice to upskill was one that people made as a normal part of their career path. One was not forced to change, but rather one elected to change. This process of self-selection ensured that most workers seeking a career change or wanting to upskill were prepared for the uncertainty and challenge ahead of them. Now, workers are being forced to change and this has created an entirely new type of challenge. How do we prepare a large labour force to have the psychological framework to undertake change willingly?

Growth Mindset leaders have more engaged teams

Growth mindset leaders have more engaged teams

Recent research by Prof Carol Dweck and her teams demonstrated that growth mindset leaders had more engaged teams and that a growth mindset culture lead to greater levels of innovation and integrity.

In fact, growth mindset leaders were more likely to believe in their team’s potential and believe that every member had the potential to perform better. Leaders with a fixed mindset were more likely to believe that only some team members had potential and were less likely to develop their team.

In a recent study with a client in Australia we assessed the mindset of 600 managers. Overwhelmingly, growth mindset leaders had higher team engagement scores than fixed mindset leaders.

The research also indicated that fixed mindset leaders were less likely to recognise improved performance from those team members they labelled as being untalented. Once they labelled a team member they were unable to update their assessment regardless of future performance. How demotivating is that for the hard working team member that puts in the effort to improve?

Mindsets matter when it comes to team performance. Fortunately, you can change your mindset with effort and good strategies over time.

Mindsets matter when it comes to team performance. Fortunately, you can change your mindset with effort and good strategies over time. Leaders need to understand their mindset as a first step in developing a more persistent growth mindset. There are mindset assessment tools available to help leaders to understand their fixed mindset triggers.
