The University of Texas at Austin Learning & Development Human Resources

You are receiving this email because you are a manager of people here at The University of Texas at Austin.

Creating a structure that fosters growth and learning is a powerful way for managers and leaders to establish a workplace that is vibrant, engaging, and rewarding. Moreover, it can create capacity and improve productivity. Having people on your team who know how to take initiative, problem-solve, think critically, make decisions, and communicate effectively can make a massive impact on how effective (and happy) you are as a manager.

Learning and development is all forms of learning that help develop our workforce as professionals and a community. Effective leaders and effective teams make learning part of their cultures. At The University of Texas Office of Learning and Development, we believe that learning—meaningful and impactful learning—often comes from places where we least expect it.

YOUR EMPLOYEES WANT A ‘GROWTH MINDSET CULTURE’—AND SO SHOULD YOU

Research has shown that organizations that inspire the cultural norms of collaboration, innovation, and integrity are the ones that are the most successful. Not only do these cultural norms predict success; employees like them too. In fact, these norms have been shown to result in greater trust in and commitment to the organization.... Recently published research makes it clear what type of culture does exactly that: a growth mindset culture.
