Create a Growth Culture, Not a Performance-Obsessed One

Create a Growth Culture, Not a Performance-Obsessed One | Adaptive Leadership and Cultures | Scoop.it
You need four things to do it.
Andrew Gerkens's insight:

This HBR article explores limitations of performance (achievement culture) focused organisations and explores the benefits of a (collaborative) growth culture as a way to thrive in volatile/complex environments.

 

Great quote, 'A performance culture asks, “How much energy can we mobilize?” and the answer is only a finite amount. A growth culture asks, “How much energy can we liberate?” and the answer is infinite'.
