By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/reframing-thoughts\/\">reframing failure<\/a> as positive and beneficial, we can overcome the fear of erring and start <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-learn-from-mistakes\/\">learning from mistakes<\/a> in our lives and our organizations.&nbsp;This creates a growth mindset culture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To explain why changing your view of failure is the key, Syed refers to psychologist <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/mindset\/1-page-summary\">Carol Dweck\u2019s ideas of \u201cgrowth mindset\u201d versus \u201cfixed mindset\u201d<\/a>:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>People with a <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/fixed-mindset-examples\/\">fixed mindset<\/a><\/em> believe that ability is set in stone\u2014in other words, you\u2019re good at some things and bad at others, and you can\u2019t change that.&nbsp;<\/li><li>People within a <em>growth mindset<\/em> culture believe that ability develops through practice\u2014put another way, you grow by taking action, messing up, and trying again.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Whether you have a growth or fixed mindset isn\u2019t all-or-nothing, and it can vary from domain to domain. For example, someone who becomes physically fit through trial-and-error might believe that the same approach wouldn\u2019t work with mathematics or science. In this way, we often kneecap our growth in some areas of life even while growing in others. To avoid this, try taking your growth mindset from a strength of yours and applying it to weaker areas of your life\u2014such as extending your skill in business thinking to emotional intelligence, or vice versa. Both are skills to be grown with the same underlying method: by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/we-learn-from-our-mistakes\/\">learning from errors<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Syed argues that having a fixed mindset correlates with fragile self-esteem. Because failure could reveal your inadequacies, you\u2019ll avoid it for fear of looking foolish or incapable. <strong>Regarding failure, people with a fixed mindset are threatened by failure and do everything they can to avoid it because they see it as a reflection of their self-worth.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, having a growth mindset means you understand that <strong>errors are intrinsic to learning. <\/strong>So you\u2019ll regard difficulties, like a challenging work project or struggling relationship, as chances to learn. <strong>Regarding failure, people with a growth mindset believe failure is to be expected, and it\u2019s a tool.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Syed cites research that measured mindset differences in terms of two brain signals. The \u201cError Related Negativity\u201d signal (ERN) is the brain\u2019s default reaction to a mistake, while the \u201cError Positivity\u201d signal (Pe) indicates <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/conscious-processing\/\">conscious processing<\/a> of the mistake.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>People with fixed mindsets had low Pe signals, meaning that <strong>fixed mindset individuals unconsciously ignore their mistakes<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Conversely, people within a growth mindset culture exhibited strong Pe signals. A strong signal indicated that <strong>growth mindset individuals consciously acknowledged their mistakes<\/strong>, and it also correlated with learning from them afterward.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mindset Determines Organizational Culture<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As with individuals, an organization can exhibit a growth mindset or a fixed mindset, and that mindset shapes its culture. Crucially, <strong>an organization\u2019s <\/strong><strong><em>systems <\/em><\/strong><strong>can\u2019t change until its <\/strong><strong><em>culture<\/em><\/strong><strong> does<\/strong>. Since mindset shapes culture, we first need to change our mindsets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <em>Tribal Leadership<\/em>, Dave Logan argues that the best way to upgrade an organization is by upgrading its tribes. Each tribe within an organization exhibits a cultural stage, which is composed of particular patterns of language and behavior. The lower the stage, the less effective the tribe. To upgrade your organization, then, is to upgrade your tribe\u2019s cultures. At a higher stage, the mindset is essentially, \u201cwork is better when we work together,\u201d a teams-focused attitude that complements Syed\u2019s focus on establishing an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/growth-mindset-in-business\/\">organizational growth mindset<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Syed cites a study that surveyed employees at seven Fortune 1000 companies to determine the general mindset of each organization, and then compared the cultures of the fixed- versus growth-oriented companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Culture #1: At fixed mindset companies, employees reported a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/culture-of-fear-in-the-workplace\/\">culture of fear<\/a>. <\/strong>Workers feared retribution for any error, and they would often conceal failures to avoid blame. They noted the same about their colleagues, reporting that people often hid their mistakes, took shortcuts, and cheated to get ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of this cultural style, the organizations couldn\u2019t learn from their mistakes. As long as blame and shame followed mistakes, employees felt unable to take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-mitigate-risk\/\">creative risks<\/a>, innovate, and improve their companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Dave Logan notes in <em>Tribal Leadership <\/em>that a certain kind of boss creates a workplace dominated by fear, apathy, and passive-aggression. Called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/dilbert.com\/search_results?page=1&amp;sort=date_desc&amp;terms=Evil+Boss\">evil bosses<\/a>\u201d by <em>Dilbert<\/em> creator Scott Adams, they tend to treat lower-level workers as expendable and not worthy of respect or care. Because of this, those workers become disillusioned with work and they can\u2019t be bothered to make productive, focused efforts. Overcoming this involves helping both the manager and the employees improve their language habits and relationship styles, shifting from a \u201clife sucks\u201d mindset to a \u201cwe\u2019re great\u201d mindset that promotes teamwork and respectful collaboration.)&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Culture #2: At growth mindset companies, employees reported an open, honest, and collaborative culture<\/strong>. They trusted that the company would support them if they made mistakes, and they reported that higher-ups saw reasonable risks as \u201cvalue added,\u201d or as learning opportunities. In short, these companies embraced failure\u2019s role in creativity and learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, Syed argues that these positive behaviors indicate that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/the-growth-mindset\/\">the growth mindset<\/a> companies were well-positioned to adapt and succeed.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>(Shortform note: Effective companies, Dave Logan argues, exist at a Stage 4 tribal culture. At Stage 4, a tribe aligns around their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/clarifying-your-values\/\">core values<\/a> and a collectively crafted vision. They also build <em>triadic <\/em>relationships\u2014three people who all support one another. The values and vision give the team a clear sense of how to make decisions: If a choice would infringe on those values, you wouldn\u2019t make it. The triadic relationships create a stable social and work network that maintains itself\u2014when a conflict arises, the third person can often help to mediate, and all three people have shared values to lean on in tough cases. Altogether, this allows the team to focus on valuable, innovative work.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is a growth mindset culture?
