Cultures of growth : how the new science of mindset can transform individuals, teams, and organizations
Murphy, Mary C. (Professor)2024
Books
Award-winning social psychologist Mary Murphy offers a groundbreaking reconsideration of individual and team success--showing how to create and sustain a growth mindset in any organizations culture. Carol Dweck's multi-million-copy bestseller Mindset transformed our view of individual potential, coining the terms fixed and growth mindset: in a fixed mindset, talent and intelligence are viewed as predetermined traits, while in a growth mindset, talent and intelligence can be nurtured. In Cultures of Growth, Dweck's protege, Mary Murphy, a social psychologist at both Stanford and Indiana University, shows that mindset transcends individuals. A growth mindset culture can transform any group, team, or classroom to reach breakthroughs while also helping each person achieve their potential. Murphy's original decade-long research reveals that organizations and teams more geared toward growth inspire deeper learning, spark collaboration, spur innovation, and build trust necessary for risk-taking and inclusion. They are also less likely to cheat, cut corners, or steal each others ideas. And they're more likely to achieve top results. In these cultures, great ideas come from people from all backgrounds and at all levels--not just those anointed as brilliant or talented. Discover how a culture of growth helped make outdoor retailer Patagonia a leader in its field; how Satya Nadella transformed Microsoft; how winemakers Robin McBride and Andrea McBride John are leading with a mindset to disrupt and diversify the entire wine industry; and how a New York school superintendent reversed massive inequities for children of colour by reshaping the districts mindset culture. Drawing on compelling examples from her work with Fortune 500 companies, startups, and schools, Murphy demonstrates that an organizations mindset culture is the key to success for individuals, teams, and the entire organization, teaching you how to create and sustain a culture of growth no matter your role. Create environments where people want to be, where everyone can thrive and achieve their potential, both individually and together. In a world where success seems reserved for a chosen few, Cultures of Growth unveils a radically different approach to creating organizations that inspire learning, growth, and success at all levels.
