State-Bank-of-India: Developing a Leadership Mindset

Oxford dictionary describes mindset as the general attitude of a person and their fixed ideas that are often difficult to change. It is a person’s way of thinking.

Our mind filters the information we receive. Mindset is the mental lens through which we see the world. The concept of Leadership Mindset delves into the psyche of leaders and talks about the mindset a leader should possess. A leadership mindset produces great attitude which produces great behaviour that results in great outcomes. Developing leadership mindset is not about changing the person. It is about making the most of the existing talent of the person and extracting the best from an individual. Mindset differentiates great leaders from merely good leaders. Having the right mindset alone does not determine success, but without it, success eludes.

It is not primarily our physical selves that limit us but rather our mindset about our physical limits. - Ellen Langer
