Wie die neue Mindset-Theorie Menschen, Teams und Organisationen verändern kann. Mit einem Vorwort von Carol Dweck
Warum sind bestimmte Gruppen, Teams, Organisationen kooperativer, belastbarer und innovativer als andere? Weil sie so wie einzelne Individuen ein unterschiedliches Mindset haben, einige ein starres, andere ein bewegliches. Die Sozialpsychologin Mary Murphy hat erforscht, wie die uns umgebende Kultur unsere Denkweise, Motivation und Leistung beeinflussen und verbessern kann. Ihre bahnbrechenden Erkenntnisse zeigen, dass Organisationen und Teams, die über ein auf Wachstum ausgerichtetes Mindset verfügen, eher zum Lernen inspirieren, die Zusammenarbeit fördern und das für Risikobereitschaft notwendige Vertrauen aufbauen. Es ist wahrscheinlicher, dass sie Spitzenergebnisse erzielen und sie helfen gleichzeitig jedem Einzelnen, sein Potenzial zu entfalten. Mary Murphy veranschaulicht die Zusammenhänge zwischen individueller Leistung, Teamleistung und Unternehmenskultur mit einer Kombination aus Beispielen des gesellschaftlichen Zusammenlebens und Geschichten aus ihrer Beratung vieler der bekanntesten Unternehmen der Welt.
