Growth Mindset: Why Some Companies Grow More
Growth is the ultimate truth but, growth mindset isn’t. We are a generation driven by intellect than intelligence. Intellect is an outcome of the technological way of thinking. Intelligence, on the other hand, is insightful thinking. The insights that we generate based on observational seeking than published by someone. Insight is the hallmark of the growth mindset. Ironically, a business organization approaches growth by numbers than the mindset that its peoples possess.
Companies, across the globe, survive in the zone of comfort. But, to thrive requires moving outside the comfort zone in search of sustainable growth. Survivors love doing the things they have done for ages. They don’t want to experiment around any of the elements of the business. In the end, they end up getting constipated with the status-quo and eventually flushed out. This short-sightedness isn’t a matter of chance but, deliberate. It’s deliberate due to the fear of the unknown. Fear is what lies outside the zone of comfort.
