The Leaders We Remember Credit to Justin Wright. Follow him for more cheat sheets on leadership & self-mastery. Who is one leader who inspired you to grow beyond your comfort zone? Original post below: ----- Great leaders change lives. I know this firsthand. I've been blessed to work for a few great leaders. Each one left a lasting impact on my career and life. They all shared some key traits: ➡️ They believed in me, even when I doubted myself. ➡️ They trusted me to do good work. ➡️ They challenged me to be my best. ➡️ They pushed me out of my comfort zone to grow. But one leader went above and beyond. He didn't just care about my work performance. He cared about me as a person. I was on a fitness journey, starting to run. When I mentioned completing my first 5K, he shared that he'd run 19 marathons. Then he made an incredible offer: If I trained for a half marathon, he'd run it with me. Anywhere. This was a stretch. A big one. But his belief in me was contagious. So I trained. Hard. And he kept his word. We met in Moab, Utah a few months later. He flew across the country on his own time and dime. That's more than leadership. That's investing in someone's life. Great leaders don't just manage employees. They grow people. They create other leaders. And they lead by example. Both in and out of the office. ----- Grow your professional skills with daily visual wisdom. Follow Infographic Insights for the best posts on: 📊 Business 🌟 Leadership 💡 Self-improvement

Fixed Mindset vs Growth Mindset Credit to Véronique Barrot. Follow her for more visuals on leadership, personal & professional growth & addressing work stress. How are you working on adopting a growth mindset? Original post below: ----- 2 years ago, I was hit with a setback that felt like I was at the end of the road. But I navigated that storm, worked myself out of it, and eventually landed in a much better place. Looking back, I realise that it was my mindset that helped me eventually thrive. It's all in the mind. Introducing 2 power players: the Growth Mindset and the Fixed Mindset. Brought to life by psychologist Dr. Carol Dweck of Stanford University, ↳ these mindsets are game-changers. The Growth Mindset is based on the belief that our basic qualities ↳ can be cultivated through our effort, our strategies, and help from others. The Fixed Mindset is based on the idea that our abilities are carved in stone. The Growth Mindset is synonymous with higher achievement; The Fixed Mindset with lower success rates. Here's what the research shows: Those with a growth Mindset tend to: ⇢ See feedback as an opportunity for growth ⇢ Understand intelligence can be developed ⇢ Draw inspiration from others’ success ⇢ Welcome challenges with open arms ⇢ View failures as temporary setbacks ⇢ Use feedback as learning tools ⇢ See effort as a path to mastery ⇢ Invest effort to learn and grow ⇢ Cherish lifelong learning Those with a fixed Mindset tend to: ⇢ Consider intelligence and talent as static ⇢ Hide imperfections to avoid judgement ⇢ View feedback as personal criticism ⇢ Feel threatened by others' success ⇢ Dodge challenges to avoid failure ⇢ Dismiss feedback from others ⇢ Deem effort as futile ⇢ Give up easily It's not about choosing between: ⇥ the Growth Mindset and ⇥ the Fixed Mindset. It's about understanding that our mindset shapes: ⇥ our attitudes, ⇥ behaviours, and ⇥ ultimately, our destiny. Let's believe in our ability to adapt, grow, and lead. The journey towards a Growth Mindset is abstract. But the rewards are concrete. It's time to shape our future. It's time to take control. It's time to grow. Ready?
