Do you want to create Cultures of Growth in your workplace?
Dr. Mary C. Murphy says the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset isn’t simply an individual trait, but a cultural one. “Mindset isn’t just in your mind.” And there’s good news: you can build a growth mindset culture across your teams and whole organization, and help everyone thrive. The protégé of growth mindset pioneer Carol Dweck and author of the Amazon bestseller Cultures of Growth, Mary demonstrates how you can change the environment and help your teams become more innovative, more collaborative, more willing to take risks, and more able to benefit from diverse perspectives.

In the past decade, scientists have shown definitively that people’s mindsets—their beliefs about themselves and their place in the world—can shape innovation, belonging, and risk-taking. If we can create an environment where everyone across the organization can develop and benefit from their growth mindset, pursuing improvement and persevering through challenges, we can unlock radical success and empower everyone to bring their unique contributions to the workplace.
Mindset isn’t just in your mind, says Dr. Mary C. Murphy. If we believe that a fixed or growth mindset lives only in a student’s head, we miss opportunities to support and shape their learning environments to help them move from the unhelpful fixed mindset to the motivation-boosting growth mindset. And when we recognize our ability to foster Growth Mindset Cultures across our schools and organizations, we can increase belonging, motivation, persistence, and performance for all students.
Many organizations have put a lot of work into hiring and building diverse teams—but how do you make sure these teams can reach their full potential? Dr. Mary C. Murphy says that a growth mindset culture is the often overlooked key element to actually benefiting from the insights and talents of your diverse teams. She explains that in a Culture of Growth, where employees can develop and benefit from their growth mindset, people from different backgrounds are empowered to contribute their best ideas and broaden your organization’s capacity, creativity, and performance.
