Achieving growth with 5 critical mindsets
Achieve your leadership goals by turning these five mindsets into action.
Achieving sustained growth requires leaders to align their actions with five critical mindsets: prioritizing growth, acting boldly, maintaining a customer-centric approach, attracting and nurturing talent, and executing with rigor. In this McKinsey leadership survey of over 500 CEOs, McKinsey uncovers that leaders of growth companies balances a right mix of outlook, strategy, and capabilities – and by turning five mindsets into action. By bridging the gap between aspiration and action, companies can turn growth ambitions into reality.
The journey to growth is a marathon, not a sprint; and research says it often takes more than 18 months to see results. Leaders need a holistic approach, with courage and resilience at the core, to drive toward targets. By converting mindsets into actions and making intentional decisions that reflect these growth principles, leaders can ensure their organizations are fit and ready for the growth journey ahead.
To do this, executives can start by asking and answering fundamental questions as well as shifting from “wanting” to “achieving.”
