challenges, modelling
continuous development.

take calculated risks and see
setbacks as opportunities
for growth.

that highlights areas for
improvement and encourages
employees to view feedback as
a tool for growth.
" Supporting development plans:
Work with employees to create
personalised development
plans that outline their learning
goals and opportunities
for improvement.
" Promoting a learning culture:
Encourage employees to
explore new ideas, experiment
with different approaches, and
share their learning experiences
with others.
2. Be adventurous, curious
and open-minded
A curious mindset encourages
asking questions, seeking
new information, and
exploring innovative solutions.
Managers can foster this
mindset by:
" Encouraging curiosity:
Create an environment where
asking questions is encouraged
and curiosity is seen as a
valuable trait.
" Recognising curiosity:
Acknowledge and reward
employees who actively seek
to understand complex issues,
challenge assumptions, and
explore alternatives.
" Promoting crossfunctional learning:
Encourage employees to
collaborate with colleagues
from different departments,
fostering exposure to new
perspectives and ideas.
" Suggesting outside learning:
Recommend relevant
workshops, webinars, and
resources to help employees
expand their knowledge
and curiosity.
" Leading exploratory
discussions:
Initiate discussions that
encourage employees to delve
deeper into subjects, sparking
curiosity-driven conversations.
