Learning Mindset for Leaders Steve Terrell

Organizations today are operating in an environment characterized by Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity (VUCA), and as a result leaders are struggling with major challenges they have never had to deal with before. Effectively responding to these challenges requires leaders who are always in a Learning Mindset, an attitude that predisposes you to be open to new experiences, to believe you can and will learn, and to intentionally grow and develop from your experience. Leaders who have a Learning Mindset see opportunities to learn in all aspects of their work life and tend to learn more than those who are closed to learning. Leaders with a Learning Mindset experience more growth and development than leaders who do not have this attitude toward learning. Additionally, their Learning Mindset leads them to consistently and intentionally demonstrate certain behaviors - "Learning Practices" - so that they are constantly seeking to learn from experience in every situation, and naturally apply what they learn in new, emerging experiences. This book give leaders, executive coaches, and learning and development professional practical tools and resources to help accelerate development by enacting and living a Learning Mindset, and applying the Learning Practices in life and work.
