SALT
LAKE CITY, April 2, 2024 /CNW/ -- As the business
world evolves at an unprecedented rate, the need for individuals
who possess a robust growth mindset has never been more
critical. Recent findings underscore that companies fostering a
culture of continuous learning and adaptability outperform their
competitors significantly.
"A growth mindset, the belief that talents and abilities can be
developed through hard work, good strategies, and input from
others, stands as a cornerstone for innovation and resilience in
today's ever-competitive market," said Kevin Guest, executive chairman at USANA Health
Sciences (NYSE: USNA) and bestselling author. "With spring as a
time for renewal and growth, it serves as the perfect backdrop to
highlight the importance of nurturing a growth mindset in the
business realm."
Carol Dweck, a renowned
psychologist and author of the book, Mindset: The New Psychology
of Success, said it best: "In a growth mindset, challenges are
extended invitations to learn."
Business leaders who exemplify a growth mindset are those who
are not afraid to take risks, experiment with new ideas, and adapt
to changing market conditions. They approach problems with a blend
of creativity and pragmatism, viewing obstacles not as barriers but
as opportunities to learn and evolve.
"The good news is that a growth mindset can be developed," said
Guest. "Here are a few tips:
- Reframe challenges: View challenges as opportunities to learn
and grow;
- Focus on effort: Believe that your abilities can improve with
effort and practice;
- Celebrate learning: Embrace a passion for lifelong
learning;
- Seek feedback: Actively seek feedback from others and use it to
improve; and
- Foster a supportive environment: Encourage risk-taking and
celebrate effort over mere outcomes."
After an embarrassing experience presenting a proposal to a
major retailer in Texas decades
ago, Guest and his then-business partner could have felt like
failures. Instead, they channeled their experience into fuel for
their ambitions, propelling them toward success.
"During our long layover in the Denver airport flying home, we wrote a
business plan on the back of about 20 napkins," Guest wrote in his
bestselling book, All the Right Reasons: 12 Timeless Principles
for Living a Life in Harmony. "This laid the groundwork for our
highly successful video production company in the years ahead. Yes,
we had been humiliated, but we didn't let the experience break us.
Shawn and I still laugh whenever we talk about that experience. Our
belief in ourselves and our growth mindset made all the
difference."
All proceeds for All the Right Reasons go to feeding
hungry children, with each book purchase providing 40 meals. For
