GrowthReady

The fastest way to get better isn’t being the best

Benjamin Granger, (Chief Workplace Psychologist at Qualtrics, author of A Leader Worth Following) breaks down three mindsets people bring to a new skill, project, or hobby.

👉learning goal orientation... you focus on improving, not results.
👉performance prove... you have to be the best.
👉and the most damaging is performance avoid... “I just don’t want to look id***”

Trying to prove you’re the best does a little better. But the people who commit to learning, improving over time, are the ones who perform best in the long run.

When you start something new, are you trying to learn… or trying not to look bad?

Megan breaks down “growth ready” in a way that cuts through the noise... growth is what you learn from a leap. It has to matter. It has to stretch you. It has to be relevant... real learning, not busy work.

But then comes the part most people skip... ready.

Do you actually have the skills, mindset, energy, and capacity? The tools, the team, the access you need to make the leap count?

What leap are you avoiding because you’re not resourced for it yet?
