Recruiting for growth mindset to drive current and future performance

“If you hire people who are naturally curious, and maximize the fit between their interests and the role they are in, you will not have to worry so much about their willingness to learn or be on their case to unlock their curiosity.”

A growth mindset suggests that you can grow, expand, evolve, and change.
Aligning people’s drive and interests to the characteristics of the job and culture of the organization tends to increase not just their motivation to learn but also their performance.
A culture that fosters a growth mindset is one where all employees are seen as possessing potential, are encouraged to develop, and are acknowledged and rewarded for improvement.

(Chamorro-Premuzic & Bersin 2018, McKinsey 2020)
