How does change happen within your business?
It is through several targeted initiatives or part of your everyday work?
Your business success depends on your ability to constantly improve what you do and how you do it.
The Japanese call this Kaizen – constant improvement.
The word translates to mean change (kai) for the good (zen).
Businesses that follow that Kaizen approach believe that everything can always be improved.
Your business and the people within it all need to have a growth mindset for Kaizen to work as there is never a period of status quo.
There must be continuous efforts to improve, these can be small changes over time, which in the long term add up to large changes, or these can be one off changes.
The Kaizen approach is at the heart of the Toyota Production system and has influenced many production processes throughout the world.
A growth mindset is the Kaizen of human development.

BLOG 4 – The DVLA, the unlikely pioneer of the business growth mindset…
Recent advances in the study of the brain have shown the brain to be far more elastic that we previously thought.
Research shows that every time you are pushed out of your comfort zone to learn something new, complicated, difficult and right at the edge of your learning capacity the neurons in your brain form stronger, new connections.
Over time you actually get smarter!
This ability to learn comes from having a growth mindset.
There are 2 types of mindset.
The fixed mindset and the growth mindset.
The fixed mindset people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits. They also believe that talent alone creates success, without effort.
They can often be heard saying things like ‘I cannot speak French it doesn’t come naturally to me, but you should hear Claire, she has a natural talent for it’
The growth mindset people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed and improved through effort and hard work. They have a love of learning and view failure as a necessary step on the path to greater achievement.
There is no doubt that we all have a little bit of both, we are human after all.
And you will be able to identify the people in your business that have more of one than the other.
BUT…
Can’t any skill be learned? We all learnt to drive after all…
The DVLA statistics prove that everyone has a growth mindset at some point.
The need to drive as an adult is so great that in 2015 the DVLA reported that 45.5 million people in the UK had a valid driving licence. Proving that most of the UK population have a growth mindset.
They all learnt to drive, along the way there will have been mistakes, test failures and retakes, but the fact remains that all these people learnt a brand-new skill, something they had never done before from scratch…

BLOG 5 – What can Michael Jordan teach your business about the right mindset?
Creating a growth mindset in your business will enhance motivation and productivity.
It has also proved to be successful in the worlds of education, and sport.
Take Michael Jordan – he is the most successful Basketball player EVER!
He helped his team The Chicago Bulls win the NBA championship 6 times and was the NBA all star player 14 times, but he was not always the best… he was not always good.
When he started out his coach observed that although he was not that good…
‘he was the first at training and the last to leave, every day I saw him working hard at getting better’
He worked hard, got better and the rest is history as they say BUT…
During his career he failed many, many times.
He missed 9000 shots!
He lost 300 games!
He missed 26 game winning shots… Game winning!!!
BUT his belief was ‘to succeed, first you must learn to fail’
Michael Jordan had a growth mindset and is now worth $3 billion!
He believed that his skill was not God-given, it was learned, through effort, hard work, determination and a belief that failure sets you on the path to greater achievement.

BLOG 5 – A weekly rhythm is the key to increased productivity
To make more than just a lot of noise in your business, you've got to have rhythm.
At the heart of great team performance is a rhythm of tightly run daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual meetings.
All of which happen as scheduled, ideally at the same time, each day, week or month, without fail, with specific agendas.
You already know that you'll solve problems more quickly and easily in your business, achieve better alignment, and communicate more effectively when you run well-structured agenda driven meetings.
Why did John D Rockefeller hold a meeting every day with his senior people – because let’s face it – that’s an expensive meeting?
Mr Rockefeller was at the centre of Standard Oil, Chase Manhattan Bank and some rather large real-estate deals – remember the Rockefeller centre in New York?
Rockefeller needed the daily check-in, he needed to know that his business and his people were on track, he needed to know his team were working as a team and he made sure they were accountable for the job they were doing.
Daily meetings are ambitious for any business.
But monthly meetings are just not enough - meeting only 12 times a year? That’s a long-time in-between meetings for things to go off track!
How about creating a weekly rhythm in your business by having weekly team meetings, making sure individually accountability shows up and using a proven agenda.
Click here for more details on this proven agenda – it really is very simple and can be used in 30-minute meetings to transform your business success.
BLOG 6 – Discover the 4 ‘mindset-steps’ to long-term business success
If you were asked whether you had a fixed mindset or a growth mindset what would you say?
Would anyone want to own up to having a fixed mindset…
You, like most of us probably have a bit of both…
When approaching a new business challenge or doing something new in your business you have your fixed mindset saying:
“Are you sure you can do it? What if you fail? Let’s just stay as we are!”
And you have your growth mindset saying:
‘I am sure it will be tricky at first, but if I don’t try I will never know, and if I fail, that’s OK, I can always try again’
Carol S Dweck is leading research into the power and value of a growth mindset and believes it’s simply a matter of a learning mindset.
She believes there are several ways of stacking the odds in our favour. If we can be more ‘growth’ than ‘fixed’ in our mindset then we will be more successful.
If you and your team develop the growth mindset or learning mindset then your business will achieve greater success.
She talks about 4 steps to success:
1) Hear your fixed mindset voice – if you ignore it your business will never reach its full potential
2) Remember you have a choice – how your business deals with challenges, new ideas and opportunities is up to you
3) Answer with a growth mindset voice – be positive and accept that failure is learning
4) Take the growth mindset action – learn and try again – eventually this should be the voice you hear more often.

BLOG 7 – Time to understand the vital impact of the 2 mindsets in your business…
In her many years of research Carol S Dweck, author of the best-selling book ‘Mindset – challenging the way you think to fulfil your potential’, proved the power and value of a growth mindset.
Her research focused on the education sector and asked one key question:
‘Is a person’s intelligence, skill and creativity static or are these things that can be cultivated’
The answer to this question according to Dweck is a key indicator about whether you have a growth mindset or a fixed mindset.
She believes if we can be more ‘growth’ than ‘fixed’ in our mindset we’ll be more successful.
If you can encourage a growth mindset in your business, then your business will be more successful.
Do not ignore your fixed mindset, being human means having both mindsets is essential to you building a stronger growth mindset.
Everyone needs that voice telling them they can’t, it awakens the voice that tells them that they can!
Here are the 4 basic steps to help embrace the growth mindset in your business:
Step 1 – Learn to hear your fixed mindset ‘voice’.
When you acknowledge your fixed mindset voice it means you can move you, your people and your business to a greater use of the growth mindset, resulting in business improvement.
Step 2 – Remember! You have a choice.
You can interpret difficulties with a fixed mindset as signs that you don’t have the ability to deal with them or you can interpret them with a growth mindset as signs that you need to work harder, deal with the problem and stretch yourself to solve it.
Step 3 – Talk back with a growth mindset voice.
Counteract your fixed mindset voice with views and perspectives that enable you to maintain a learning approach to every challenge you face.
Step 4 – Take the growth mindset action.
Over time the voice you respond to most becomes your choice and the mindset you will use to deal with the challenges you face. Using the ‘Kaizen’ approach of continuous improvement (Toyota use this in their production processes) will help you adopt the growth mindset more easily.
It will enable you to:
· take on your challenges wholeheartedly
· learn from any set backs
· and try again.
