We had April Shprintz on The Porch to talk about her book Magic Blue Rocks and her work with The Generosity Culture.
There were several takeaways:
-Leaders who open up about the things they aren’t good at help make others feel safe. If you’ve failed, tell your team. It will help them focus on growth and not perfectionism.
-If you're afraid to get feedback, take a personal inventory. Ask yourself, is this an area I want to grow? If so, the pain of the feedback is worth it!
-You don’t have to want to grow in every area of your life all the time. We need to contextualize the concept of having a “growth mindset.”
-Don’t bypass difficult feelings. The secret to finding a solution is not turning off your emotions. It’s flowing with them. When things don’t go as expected, take 5 minutes to throw yourself a pity party and then you can find a solution.
