Here are 24 behaviours you need to exhibit to be a growth leader…

A growth leader is someone who embraces the growth mindset and deals with uncertainty to build new business or new products. Not everyone is a growth leader and research by Prof Jeanne Liedtka et al have identified 24 behaviours. You obviously don’t need to exhibit all 24 behaviours but the more you do, the better a growth leader you will be. So, in a very brief list, here are all the behaviours you would need to exhibit to be the ultimate growth leader (in no order of merit…)

Actively listening to others
Asking questions
Trying new ways
Seeking out different views
Having a positive attitude
Collaborating
Sharing information
Challenging existing ways
Engaging in constructive debate
Being curious
Being emotionally engaged in your job
Supporting experimentation
Learning from mistakes
Acting humbly
Trusting your manager and leaders
Not placing blame
Treating people with respect and dignity
Contributing to an energizing and positive work environment
Teaching, not punishing
Measuring and rewarding people fairly
Removing obstacles to growth
Encouraging diversity of opinion
Finding meaning in your work
Being paranoid about complacency

That’s a whopper of a list isn’t it? But if you think about it, isn’t this really about excelling in everything we do at work?

Excellence at work will yield organic growth.
