Growth Mindset and the Power of Yet
Satya Nadella, Microsoft CEO, helped Microsoft in the last years since he became the CEO to move from the “Know-it-all” to a “Learn-it-all” culture.
The results are incredible, in the last 7 years the company market cap has grown from $300 billion to $ 1.9 trillion dollars, that’s almost 2 trillion dollars!
The big secret is to use in a very large scale what is called “growth mindset” and the “power of yet”.
Fixed mindset = Look smart at all costs.
Growth mindset = Learn at all costs.
When you have growth mindset you will develop a lot of resilience and you will react much better to anything.
You just have to use the powerful message of I do not know this “YET”.
Core message:
“Whenever you tell yourself “I don’t understand this” or “I don’t know how to do this”, simple add one word “yet”.
