DR. CAROL DWECK
MINDSET AND COMPANY CULTURE “We know from our studies that people with the fixed mindset do not admit and correct their deficiencies. And a company that cannot self-correct cannot survive . . . Instead of learning, growing, and moving the company forward, everyone starts worrying about being judged . . . It’s hard for courage and innovation to survive a company-wide fixed mindset.”
DR. CAROL DWECK

CYCLES & CHANGE IN COMPANIES
THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF CYCLES IN COMPANIES
o Company lifecycle o Leadership lifecycle o Product lifecycle o Employee lifecycle o Partnership lifecycle
o Annual cycle o Quarterly cycle o Monthly cycle o Weekly cycle o Daily cycle
THESE CYCLES OFTEN DIFFER IN PHASE
Company Engineers New Hires
When di!erences in phase across scales are unreconciled or unacknowledged, things can feel disjointed for one or more parties.
Packing up to move o"ces In the middle of product launch Just starting
EXAMPLE
LOSING THE POWER OF TRANSITIONS In the absence of acknowledged transitions, people can have di"culty shifting their behavior and can miss learning opportunities. This is especially true for endings and beginnings.

INVESTING IN THE HARVEST One of the biggest opportunities for individual and team learning is at the end of cycles. Taking time to reflect and share learnings serves as rocket fuel for the next phase.

ALIGNMENT AS A DESIGN CHALLENGE Leaders and culture designers need to create systems that allow all cycle stages to flourish simultaneously in the business ecosystem.
