Letzte Woche postete ich in meinem Distinctive Leadership Blog eine Infographik aus Carol Dwecks Buch Mindset:
Als ich soeben nochmal meine eigene Zusammenfassung des Buches las, musste ich während der folgenden Zeilen an das 'Mindset' der neuen Politikergeneration, ie. der Piraten, denken:
('Fixed-mindset managers' wären die organisierten Partei- und Machtpolitiker, die Piraten wären die 'growth-mindset leaders'.)
- The fixed-mindset managers: "... at critical decision points, they opted for what would make them feel good and look good over what would serve the longer-term corporate goals."
- The growth-mindset leaders: "Instead they are constantly trying to improve. They surround themselves with the most able people they can find, they look squarely at their own mistakes and deficiencies, and they ask frankly what skills they and the company will need in the future. And because of this, they can move forward with confidence that's grounded in facts, not built on fantasies about their talent."
- "As growth-minded leaders, they start with a belief in human potential and development - both their own and other people's. Instead of using the company as a vehicle for their greatness, they use it as an engine of growth - for themselves, the employees, and the company as a whole."
Frappierend auch diese Beobachtung ('bosses' wäre dabei die org. Politik, 'company' wäre unser Land, unsere Gesellschaft):
"When bosses become controlling and abusive, they put everyone into a fixed mindset. This means that instead of learning, growing, and moving the company forward, everyone starts worrying about being judged.
It start's with the bosses' worry to be judged, but it winds up being everybody's fear about being judged."
Ein reflexions-würdiger Ansatz, denn oft fühle ich mich als Bürger wie oben beschrieben behandelt.
Die Grundhaltung der organisierten Parteipolitiker muss sich dringend ändern, damit Politik sich wirklich ändern kann.
