This document discusses the concept of a growth or "agile" mindset versus a fixed mindset. It describes several experiments that show students with a growth mindset are more likely to embrace challenges, see effort as the path to mastery, and improve with practice, while those with a fixed mindset avoid challenges and see effort as something for the less intelligent. It argues that mindsets can be changed and provides suggestions for developing an agile mindset in children, students, employees and oneself by focusing on learning and growth over innate ability.
Linda rising - the power of an agile mindsetMagneta AI
I‘ve wondered for some time whether much of Agile’s success was the result of the placebo effect, that is, good things happened because we believed they would.
The placebo effect is a startling reminder of the power our minds have over our perceived reality. Now cognitive scientists tell us that this is only a small part of what our minds can do.
Research has identified what I like to call «an agile mindset», an attitude that equates failure and problems with opportunities for learning, a belief that we can all improve over time, that our abilities are not fixed but evolve with effort.
What’s surprising about this research is the impact of an agile mindset on creativity and innovation, estimation, and collaboration in and out of the workplace.
I’ll relate what’s known about this mindset and share some practical suggestions that can help all of us become even more agile.
A Leadership Survival Guide to Transformation - Aldo Rall & Andy Cooper - Agi...AgileNZ Conference
Agile has become a source of disruption to organisations and leadership. Prevailing trends shows that organisations are de-layering and some are even decimating their hierarchies. This disruption driven by Agile and, more recently, DevOps and Agile Scaling, challenges tradition; there is a call for wider skill sets and controlled, sustainable transformations, pushing leadership and organisations into wider and often conflicting and ambiguous contexts.
About Aldo Rall & Andy Cooper:
Aldo has over 18 years’ experience in a range of industries including financial services, healthcare, IT, management consulting and education in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the UK. He's worked with a range of clients on Agile transformations as an Agile and Testing Coach. Aldo remains fascinated with continuous change in industry, which ensures there is always something new to learn, regardless of experience levels or qualifications. Over time, Aldo has honed his skills in the practical elements of developing working software but his greatest passion lies in the people dimension of the people-process-technology mix and how this translates into successful IT strategy, teams, projects and practitioners.
Andy Cooper is the Group Manager Global for Software Education. Andy is responsible for developing SoftEd’s training and consulting business outside of Australia and New Zealand and works with clients developing their agility around the world. Andy has a strong interest in Agility for Business as an Agile Marketer at CA Technologies and was a track lead on the Business Agility Track for the International Consortium for Agile (ICAgile). Andy has over 20 years' experience working for technology companies such as CA, Oracle and Informix in business and consulting roles and has managed and worked in teams spanning NZ, Australia, Asia and the US.
Agile is actually an approach and a Mindset, whereas most people misunderstand it as a set of practices. There are umpteen examples of people implementing the Agile practices and artefacts, but are failing to get the intended positive results. This is a classic problem of ‘doing Agile’ as opposed to aiming to ‘be Agile’. The key to getting the optimal benefits is having the Agile Mindset.
Mindset is abstract and hence one needs to understand it based on what is visible in behaviours, policies etc. The talk is about not only what these visible characteristics are, but also about what can be some of the enablers to move towards achieving the Agile Mindset. It has been proven that Leadership of an organization plays a key role in enabling the right Mindset, and hence this talk is meant for Leaders.

The major criteria standing in the way of agile adoption or improvement are in the hands of managers, not the teams themselves. But many managers have been trained to think in ways that are a century old.
Agile organisations require a new mode of management and a new style of leadership. This talk discusses why this is and what this new paradigm might be like for your organisation.
Research has shown that a simple idea, the mindset, could affect the way we lead our lives. But not only affect us as individuals but could also affect our organisation's "agility". being aware of the two types of mindsets, fixed and growth or as Linda Rising like to name agile mindset, is the first step towards changing your mindset and your organisation's one! this material has been used to facilitate a learning lab that organised by Ericsson's High Performing Team Environment network of coaches.
While most organization seek increased agility, many struggle. Studies indicate leadership is a key barrier. These slides provide an overview of Agile Leadership and how to develop it.

An Agile mindset believes that diverse teams with complementary skills are best equipped to thrive in today’s business environments.
Many organizations, working with Agile methodologies, talk about changing mindsets. I know from extensive experience that Agile principles and practices by themselves will not lead to this kind of transformation. A real Agile transformation is about not just doing Agile, but being Agile.
‘Follow Agile’ mindset will only help us get into the water but ‘Being Agile’ mindset will help us swim in the current. Most Agile implementations fail and their practitioners cannot tell why. Managers jump onto the Agile bandwagon, and quickly discover that the change runs much deeper and wider than they’d been told. Worse yet, people decide for or against Agile without understanding it properly. It does not have to be this way. This will be an interactive workshop leading toward the Agility.
Leading in Paradox: An introduction to polaritiesCheryl Doig
We live in increasingly complex times. Such times require leaders to be adaptive and flexible, to accept that there may not be a ‘right’, ‘wrong’, or ‘single’ answer, and to be comfortable with uncertainty. This slideshare introduces leaders to understanding the difference between problems and polarities. It aims to start the conversation rather than provide the tools and strategies for leading in paradox.
In a turbulent environment, managers and leaders need to constantly adjust, cooperate and anticipate future changes. This presentation, given as part of PÖL Digital free meetup sessions, is an introduction to leadership agility as well as the Agile Profile®. Agile Profile is a management tool and a methodology to measure the level of agility of an organization, and identify how management behaviors and culture can be changed to better meet the demande of the environment.

We all know how important is trust for any team to deliver results. The question is, how to build trust in practice? We all heard that agile teams should be self-managed. The question is, how to develop a team that is able to self-manage and achieve results? We all understood that cross-functionality is crucial for development teams to be able to deliver "done" functionalities and absorb variations in the demand. The question is, how to make it happen in real life when companies are still hiring specialists? Some of our Agile teams have Scrum masters. The questions are, do we really need a Scrum Master? What should we expect from a good one? Using real-life examples from companies that made Agile their competitive advantage and from companies that failed to get results from Agile. Angel is going to share practical tools that you can use as a manager, leader, scrum master or team member to make trust, self-management, cross-functionality, and high performance a reality in your team.

Most people believe personality traits are fixed characteristics that are present at birth and persist throughout an individual’s lifetime. Recent research, however, indicates these “fixed” traits are simply the symptoms of a person’s belief system. These beliefs can be so strong, in fact, that they positively or negatively influence every aspect of an individual’s life: sports, business, relationships, parenting, teaching, and coaching.
According to Carol S. Dweck, one of the world’s leading researchers in the field of motivation, there are two main belief systems, or mindsets, that people can possess. These mindsets strongly influence the way individuals respond to success and failure, and in Mindset, Dweck uses research, examples of well-known business and sports leaders, and specific scenarios to demonstrate how changing one’s mindset can profoundly affect the outcome of almost every situation. Dweck also explains how understanding the basics of mindsets can help in accepting and understanding relationships and the people who comprise them

2. Do you mostly agree or mostly
disagree with the following
Intelligence is something very basic that you really
can't change much. You’re born with it or not.
Yes, you can learn new things, but you can't
really change how intelligent you are.
No matter how intelligent you are, you can always
get better, sometimes you can improve a lot.
Substitute any ability or talent for “intelligence.”
4. Phase II
All students allowed to choose between:
(1) a more difficult test (where they
would learn a lot) or
(2) another easy test (similar to Phase I)
Most (~90%) “growth” students chose (1)
Most (~80%) “fixed” students chose (2)
5. Phase III
Very difficult exam given to both groups
“Growth” students worked hard, enjoyed
the challenge
“Fixed” students easily discouraged
6. Phase IV
All students allowed to choose between:
(1) seeing exams of those who did better
OR
(2) seeing exams of those who did worse
“Growth” students chose (1)
“Fixed” students chose (2)
7. Phase V
All students given easy test (similar to
Phase I)
“Growth” students improved (by ~30%)
“Fixed” students’ were worse (by ~20%)
8. Phase VI
All students asked to give advice to other
students and include their scores
“Growth” students: Lots of advice and
encouragement.
“Fixed” students: Very little or no advice
and ~40% lied about their scores

12. Fixed vs. Agile
Ability – fixed, like height
Goal – to look good
Challenge - avoid
Failure - defines your identity
Effort - for those with no
talent
Reaction to challenge -
helplessness
Ability – can grow, like muscle
Goal - to learn
Challenge - embrace
Failure – provides information
Effort - path to mastery
Reaction to challenge –
resilience
13. Belief about yourself affects
belief about others
Those with a fixed mindset are quick to
judge others based on little information
and quick to stereotype
Those with an agile mindset don’t ignore
information about others but are less
negative/positive
17. Enron’s fixed mindset
Identify and hire “the best talent”
Then continuously and ruthlessly grade,
sort, fire, and promote – a process called
“rank and yank”
18. We are a company of people, not
planes. That is what distinguishes us
from other airlines.
19. The Southwest Culture
Hire for attitude
Establish a culture of community, trust, and
the “Southwest spirit”
Then provide learning opportunities and
continually grow people
20. Managers have a mindset
“Keen to Help? Managers’ implicit person
theories and their subsequent employee
coaching,” Peter Heslin, Don Vandewalle,
Gary Latham, Personnel Psych., 2006.
“Pygmalion in Management,” J. Sterling
Livingston, Sept/Oct 1988 Harvard
Business Review.
21. Teams have a mindset
In all relationships, if there are problems
then we must not "have it" -- it's a sign
that the relationship is bad.
If it’s “meant to be” then it must be
perfect.
The reality is—there are no perfect
people or relationships.
23. Rosenthal & Jacobsen - 1963
California elementary school children,
grades 1-6 given IQ test.
Teachers told some were “academic
bloomers” – in reality, students in this
category were randomly chosen
IQ test at the end of the year showed
significant gains for the “bloomers”
compared with the others
24. Fixed educational system?
“… what we do throughout our whole education system is
give students solvable problems. In fact they’re
guaranteed to be solvable…. In the real world, most
problems are not solvable…and there are many
competing demands….you have to often change course
in the middle in order to meet sociological issues as
opposed to technological ones…..it’s very difficult for
us to implement that in our teaching. But I think we
would do a much better job and offer a much better
service to our students if we would try and teach our
students to fail more effectively.”
Lawrence Krauss, theoretical physicist
26. The good news is…
Mindset is not “fixed”
We encourage one or the other in each other
We develop one or the other in our children
Neuroplasticity -- our brain changes as we learn
new things
Research shows that small experimental
manipulations, e.g. feedback or reading
an article can produce one or the other
28. Effort is good!
Praise effort, strategies, process
Ask about the work
Instead of ignoring failure, teach that it’s a
way to learn and improve
Encourage others to ask their own
questions, struggle, and fail
Ask, “Which mindset do you want to
hold?”
30. For Kids
Instead of “You’re so smart” or “You picked that up so quickly,” say “That
was a clever approach” or “I’m proud of your persistence.”
Instead of “You’re a natural” say “Practice is really making you better.”
Instead of “Did you win?” say “Did you give your best effort?”
Instead of “How was your day?” say “What did you learn today?” or “What
mistakes did you make that taught you something?”
Instead of "What do you want to do when you grow up?“ say "What are your
plans for reaching your goals?“
Never let failure progress from an action to an identity.
Never label kids, e.g. “Jimmy is the artist” or “Susie is the computer geek.”
When a child doubts her ability, ask her to think of areas where she once had
low ability and now excels, or to recall a time when she saw someone learn
something or improve in ways no one thought possible.
32. [T] There will be a lot of steps. Many of you will fail.
[T] This comes down to teachers believing that all students can
learn. Everybody is going to struggle with something. We have
to see everybody as being able to get better through practicing,
being able to get better through effort.
[T] Do you want my brain to grow or do you want to grow your
brain today?
[S] It makes my brain feel like it has to do more than it's used
to.
[S] We can't do this yet, but if we try hard we will make it.
[S] This might be wrong, but I'm not going to give up.
[T] I think most kids are up to the challenge. My biggest hope
is that these kids will leave my room loving learning. I hope this
is something they carry with them their whole life.
33. Instead of arguing with someone who continually puts him/herself down
by telling the other person, “You are smart. You are talented. You
are <whatever>. Realize that this simply enforces the fixed mindset.
Remind the other person of times in the past when determination and
hard work have led to success. Offer your support to help them invest
energy in the new situation.
Instead of lecturing the other person, at some point BEFORE they are
down, provide information about the different mindsets. Experiments
have shown that simply describing the two approaches can help.
Depressed people tend to believe that it’s just the way they are. Help the
other person see themselves as a temporarily derailed work in
progress.
For other adults
34. For yourself
Instead of letting salary, benefits, and status define job satisfaction, ask
yourself if you’re still learning. If yes, then you’re fortunate to have a
job that encourages a growth mind-set. View its challenges as
opportunities rather than stress. If you’ve stopped learning, then
consider looking either for new avenues of growth or for another job.
Instead of blaming others in your relationships, remember “the whole
point of a relationship is to encourage each other’s development.”
Depressed people tend to believe that it’s just the way they are. Instead of
viewing yourself as a failed end product, think of yourself as a
temporarily derailed work in progress. “We usually think of
personality as something very stable, but we’re finding that even core
parts of it can be changed by shifting mind-sets.”
Say, “I’m not good at this…yet!”
35. Agile software development
Fail early, fail often.
Fail fast, learn constantly.
Failure *IS* an option.
Without failure how can learning happen?
“Make mistakes faster.”
Rich Sheridan, CEO, Menlo Innovations
“Perfect is a verb.” Kent Beck
36. Agile is agile
The agile mindset believes that we are *ALL* a work in
progress.
The agile software development process isn’t fixed. It
continues to change and grow as we learn more about
it. If we are lucky, this will never end because it will
never be perfect.
We will continue to improve as we age—just like me !
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again.
Fail better. Samuel Beckett, Irish poet (1906-1989)
