For many leaders, recent progress can be difficult. It's not that we're not interested in performing at a high level and delivering the best results to our clients. Many of us ask ourselves: "When will this pandemic end?" "What does my current organization or team look like?" "What will my job be? Do I have the same responsibilities?" "Is remote work going to be a timeless model?" Predicting the world of work six months and a year from now may not be easy, but we still need to lead with purpose. Psychologically, it means thinking differently about our work and our day-to-day work. Continuing to follow the same path as before the pandemic is not helping us well and may even cause us to lose our position. Leaders need to shake things up and develop a growth mindset. 1. Understand your Motivation Leaders need to dig deeper into what gives them vitality. To be successful and successful when we face difficult challenges at work, we need to understand what motivates us. Our important motivation is what drives us to succeed. Are you a collaborator? Do you work better on your own? What kind of project will blow your mind? 2. Evaluation of the Process to be Used Implementing the best way to work can help leaders deal with obstacles. From time to time, we are all given tasks that seem beyond our capabilities or seem distasteful. To develop a growth mindset, you need to do the following: Identify the right method for us in daily tasks and adapt it when facing new challenges. Be open to trying new steps and experiments. Define the best colleagues to include in your collaboration. 3. Take risks even if you are depressed A key component of a growth mindset is an openness to take risks. The success of the risks leaders take is not important, but the fact that they have taken a step forward and tried. In her studies, Carol Dweck realized that it is effort that really contributes to individual success in unfamiliar situations. It's important to know that we can lead, make mistakes, and move on for better results. 4. Identify Skills Gaps To produce successful results, leaders must be true to themselves about the skills and knowledge they possess. Clarifying the need for a stronger background in technology and being prepared to educate yourself to gain knowledge is a sign of a thriving mindset. To identify skills gaps: Ask trusted colleagues and bosses what skills can help them become more successful. Take courses to expand your Leadership Toolbox. Shadow someone at work remotely to learn new processes and techniques for overcoming challenges. 5. Look for Something that Triggers a Fixed Mindset Just as important as developing a growth mindset is recognizing what triggers us to fall back into the fixed mindset. Leaders often panic or simply give up when faced with a difficult task that they don't know how to complete. When we take the lead in the idea of growth, we recognize the unpleasant feelings we are feeling and remind ourselves that we are staying open. We may be angry or worried about not being able to overcome a challenge, but we know that we have been in this place before and won.
