Fixed vs Growth Mindset

If any industry needs to revisit and remind itself about a growth mindset, it’s the governmental space / public sector arena. We, unfortunately, perpetuate the stereotypes of static culture, bureaucracy, slow processes and so forth. The “We’ve always done it that way,” mentality persists. Leaders today have an opportunity to rewrite the norms and institute changes for the better. Fail forward, evolve, test new ideas, reward innovation and continue to grow. Focus on continuous improvement, cross-functional teams, professional development, training, new concepts to address old problems, etc.
