To better serve our clients, our profession, ourselves and others, it is incumbent of our lawyers to maintain a “growth mindset.”
All lawyers and legal organizations can become higher performing and transform their behavior from “know it all” to “learn it all” by embracing these practices: Always be Stretching; Failure Isn’t Fatal; Be Diverse & Inclusive; Proactively Seek Feedback; and Encourage & Reward “Growth Mind setters”.
For, as Benjamin Franklin once said, “Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.”
