Pre-Conference
Mindset
(mahynd-set)
n.
a certain set of beliefs and assumptions held about
human nature. Under a growth mindset — believing that hard work and effort are
the primary drivers of performance — teams thrive, collaborate and innovate. A
fixed mindset has the opposite effect, embracing the belief that human potential
is limited, that we are born with a certain fixed amount of intelligence. What kind
of leader are you? What kind of leader do you want to be?
In this highly interactive, full-day session designed specifically for executives, learn to
unlock the potential in optimally created work groups through experiential exercises.
Based on Professor Kray’s original research in this area, and her work with executive
teams at companies such as StubHub, Intel, Adobe and Google,
you’ll dive deep
into your own leadership mindset and establish tools for accelerating team dynamics.
Participants will receive a complimentary copy of
Mindset
by Carol Dweck.
