Creating a Culture with a Growth Mindset
Activating your entire organization to think, prioritize, and act on growth every day.
Imagine if every person in your organization thought about growth every single day. Not just your sales or marketing teams—but everyone. Imagine a company where every department consistently generates high-quality strategies to pursue critical growth goals. Each goal is supported by a pipeline of well-aligned strategies, and you’re able to adjust course as needed with clear line-of-sight into what’s working and what isn’t.
This is the ultimate dream for executives. Yet, for most organizations, it’s far from reality.
Why Isn’t Growth Culture a Reality?
1. Unclear Priorities
Growth starts with focus. But in many organizations, priorities are unclear, misunderstood, or constantly shifting.
Take churn as an example: If reducing churn is the goal, it’s a priority that could involve every department. Yet without clarity from leadership, teams may view it as just a customer success issue. Departments end up competing for attention or resources, and efforts become scattered. Some teams may even deprioritize churn altogether because they don’t see how it applies to their work.
2. No Mechanism to Activate Growth Across Teams
Growth is too often relegated to revenue teams. Sales might be focused on pipeline growth, while marketing works on lead generation—but growth encompasses so much more.
Consider a systems operations (SysOps) team. At first glance, it may seem like churn isn’t relevant to them. But with clear priorities, SysOps could play a pivotal role in improving user experiences or implementing automation to reduce friction—contributing directly to growth. Without a growth mindset in all teams, opportunities like these are lost.
3. No Framework for Contribution
How do employees currently propose ideas? Too often, it depends on who they know or how well they can pitch to leadership. The process is slow, uneven, and biased.
Imagine if there were a clear, structured framework where anyone in the organization could propose a growth strategy. If that strategy aligned well with the goal and company principles, it could be fast-tracked for approval. This would transform the way employees think about their role in growth, replacing decision paralysis with a sense of empowerment.
4. Leadership Struggles to Approve Strategies
Leaders want to empower employees to propose strategies, but often, those strategies come half-baked or disconnected from business realities. This creates friction—do you send it back for revisions, debate it endlessly, or ignore it?
Now, imagine receiving fully articulated, scored strategies that are clearly aligned with company goals. Approval would become a matter of minutes, not weeks.
5. No Line of Sight on Goals
Executives struggle to see how each team contributes to overarching goals. Without this visibility, it’s hard to know what’s working and what isn’t.
Imagine viewing your growth goals like a portfolio: You’d see which strategies are active, proposed, or killed, and track progress in real time. A live scoreboard for growth would allow you to celebrate wins, identify gaps, and focus efforts where they’re needed most.
6. No Mechanism for Course Correction
Most organizations rely on lagging indicators—like quarterly or annual results—to assess success. By the time you know something isn’t working, the damage is already done.
Instead, picture having real-time visibility into whether a strategy is contributing to its goal. If it’s not, you could pivot mid-flight, like adjusting the sails on a boat to stay on course despite changing conditions.
7. No Feedback Loop at Scale
Innovation and growth hinge on learning, yet most organizations lack a scalable way to capture and apply those learnings. The difference between a small improvement in strategic success rates and business as usual could be worth millions.
