Growth mindset: a radical approach to turbulent times

This event has already taken place. Have a look at our upcoming events to see what’s coming up.
Creating a learning culture is not optional: with it, a company can dramatically transform itself, and seize considerable competitive advantage. Satya Nadella, for example, grew Microsoft’s market cap by $250 billion in four years by changing the culture from one of ‘know-it-alls’ to ‘learn-it-alls’. And today, having a company of learn-it-alls has never been more necessary, as we all urgently adapt to new and unprecedented circumstances.
What makes these highly valuable flexible thinkers so important is their ability to embrace a growth mindset, engaging with complexity and ambiguity with both curiosity and collaboration.
By understanding the intimate connection between mindset and high performance, organisations can proactively unlock this learning potential in their people and teams. In turn, this drives the innovation and agility that is so essential for a company’s resilience in our turbulent times.
Join us as Matthew Syed, author and highly acclaimed speaker in the field of high performance, shares his insights on why now - more than ever - companies must focus on nurturing growth mindset and cognitive diversity at all levels within their organisation.
Matthew’s insight spans a dazzling range of case studies, including a communication breakdown at the top of Mount Everest and a moving tale of deradicalisation in America’s deep South.
