Growth Mindset: Walking with the Mind

hi greetings everyone once again i'm excited and honored to welcome you to another episode of apex performance podcast where all pathways are cemented in authentic relationships through a common act we must continue to appreciate communicate and trust i am your host dr anthony simmons now while offering these continued accelerated pathways to excellence today's pathway highlights a growth mindset walking with the mind It's about valuing scholarship and unlearning or suppressing that fixed mindset.

Effective leaders are considered high-minded individuals that embody this growth mindset.

A people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.

James Madison In his book Think Again, Adam Grant talks about the joy of being wrong, essentially rethinking what we already know.

I see this rethinking as the gateway to a growth mindset.

That joy is a beacon that's tantamount to recognizing opportunities to grow.

In my episode, Career Champion, I emphasize preparation as the key to meet an opportunity to realize success.

This preparation hinges on gaining knowledge through continuous learning across myriad facets.

In episode 11, I highlighted leadership as a high-minded proposition that requires both emotional intelligence, maturity, and IQ prowess.

Leadership coaches must embody this high-mindedness and thrive on self-improvement as they are always eager to get better emotionally, socially, and intellectually.

And I consider myself a fellow map, which is the lover of learning.

It's a fellow means affinity force.

So walking with the mind I deduced from Congressman John Lewis book, walking with the wind.

I first, I misconstrued the Debbie in the wind as an M and I said, I'm walking with the mind.

What a powerful thought there.

But in any regard, this walking with the wind was about him being over to his grandmother house down in Pike County, Alabama with his relatives.

And they had a strong windstorm that came about.

And they would walk from one side of the house to the other one as the wind attempted to uplift the house.

So they was anchors by walking from side to side as they put more weight in one area where the wind was more powerful.

So advocating for high-mindedness is a leadership imperative, I feel, for dynamic organization development.
