A serendipity mindset is an incubator for ideas, opportunities, and success. Every successful leader has a story of how they got to where they are, a story with twists, turns, roadblocks, failures, often leading to some sort of happy ending. However, while often not “planned”, our research shows that many leaders’ paths follow this pattern because they have been operating with a serendipity mindset.

They are looking for conformity rather than a non-conformity. They look to protect the status quo rather than disrupt it.
