A performance culture asks, “How much energy can we mobilize?” and the answer is only a finite amount.
A growth culture asks, “How much energy can we liberate?” and the answer is infinite.

Takeaways of Note:
Building a growth culture…
1- an environment that feels safe with leaders willing to role model vulnerability and take personal responsibility for shortcomings & missteps.
2- a focus on continuous learning with inquiry, curiosity & transparency, in place of judgment, certainty & self-protection.
3- manageable experiments with new behaviors – testing fears of changing the status quo.
4- continuous feedback — up, down & across the organization – grounded in a shared commitment to help each other grow & get better.
