Cultivating a Growth Mindset and Organisational Capabilities

In the wise words of H. Nelson Jackson, "I do not believe that you can do today's job with yesterday's methods and be in business tomorrow." This sentiment underscores the imperative for continuous growth and development, especially within your organisational capabilities.

So, what constitutes organisational capabilities? Here are a few key examples:

• Organisational Culture

• Leadership Performance

• Strategic Unity

• Innovation

• Agility

• Talent

• Customer Connectivity

These capabilities are the intangible strategic assets your firm relies on to execute its business strategy and satisfy its clients. They are the engines that propel your firm towards achieving its objectives and maximising performance.

In his insightful book, "Leading in Tough Times," John Maxwell underscores the importance of making growth a goal. He states, "People who make growth a goal – instead of a title, position, salary or other external target – always have a future."

As you consider your firm's objectives for 2023, is enhancing your organisational capabilities among them? Reflect on your firm's growth in capabilities over the past three years and the extent to which you, as the founder, and your team have committed to developing your skills during this period.

Without a growth mindset, your firm is unlikely to make meaningful strides in any of these capabilities. Therefore, inspire your team members to invest in themselves and foster a growth mindset. Encourage them to see the value in improving their skills. This investment will undoubtedly be one of the best you can make for your professional services firm.

As your team members enhance their capabilities, they become catalysts for growth within their departments, divisions, and ultimately, your entire firm. After all, if you're not growing, you're not going anywhere.
