Cool book by a stanford psychologist on the “improvement” (she calls it “growth”) mindset vs the fixed mindset. She provides lots of good examples and how to view the world this way.

I enjoyed the book. Good post.

You can reduce the courage needed if the organization accepts that failure is not optional (as opposed to not an option) when seeking excellence. The same needs to keep trying, realizing that CI is a journey without a destination. Suggestions for change should be encouraged, welcomed, rewarded and tested for merit by action. To not make such suggestions / have such drive for improvement should be considered unprofessional in the culture of the organization.
