In business, a growth mindset can be the difference between stagnation and innovation, between surviving and thriving. Here’s how mindset and growth apply specifically in a business context.
Mindset in Business
Fixed Business Mindset: Avoids risk, resists feedback, blames external factors, values stability over innovation.
Growth Business Mindset: Welcomes challenges, encourages experimentation, seeks feedback, invests in people and development.
How a Growth Mindset Can Transform Your Business
Why mindset—not just strategy—is the real engine behind long-term success. Companies like Microsoft, Netflix, and Amazon thrived because they embraced a mindset of growth.
5 Ways to Build a Growth Mindset
- Normalize Learning (and Unlearning)
- Reframe Failure as learning moments
- Encourage Feedback Loops
- Recognize Effort and Progress
- Lead by Example
Fixed Mindset: "If I don’t try new or hard things, then I won’t fail."
Growth Mindset: "I have to try new and difficult things in order to grow, even if I fail at first."
