Description
You've worked with teams that really clicked, and teams that seemed to
fizzle. What made the difference? One factor may have been the mindsets
of the people involved. In her book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success,
Stanford University professor, Dr. Carol Dweck, defines a growth mindset
as a belief that talents can be developed through hard work, good
strategies, and input from others. Those with fixed mindsets believe their
talents cannot be changed. Teams that promote and foster a growth mindset tend
to be more collaborative, empowered and committed--all factors we need in an
effective development program. In this session, we'll review Dr. Dweck's
research and other findings building upon her work, translate how a growth
mindset can help build a more effective fundraising team, and provide
real-world examples of how mindset can make the difference between a successful
professional and a staff person on their way out.
Learning objectives:
- Understand the markers of a growth mindset versus a fixed mindset
- Identify strategies to encourage growth mindsets in your team
- Identify ways to help fixed and growth mindset people work together
