Why Corporations Have a Talent Problem

N2Growth Blog

How Microsoft Uses a Growth Mindset to Develop Leaders

Harvard Business Review

Research shows that managers see far more leadership potential in their employees when their companies adopt a growth mindset — the belief that talent should be developed in everyone, not viewed as a fixed, innate gift that some have and others don’t. But what are those organizations doing to nurture their talent? To explore this question, let’s look at Microsoft, which is deliberately creating a growth-mindset culture and, in that context, rethinking its approach to developmen
