Push Beyond Perceived Limits
Challenging assumptions, embracing growth, and maximising potential
💭 Recognise Limiting Beliefs
Internal Barriers
Limiting beliefs often stem from internal factors, such as fear of failure, lack of confidence, or adherence to outdated mental models. eg. many managers are afraid to deliver constructive criticism for fear of negative reactions. This fear can limit their effectiveness in helping team members grow and improve.
External Influences
External factors, such as organisational culture, societal norms, or past experiences, can also shape perceived limits. eg. challenging established policies or bureaucratic mindsets. These external structures can create perceived limitations on what's possible.
🏋️ Push Beyond Limits
Cultivate a Growth Mindset
Growth requires a willingness to step outside of comfort zones, embrace challenges, and learn from both successes and failures. eg. seek opportunities to expand their skills and knowledge, even if it means venturing into unfamiliar territory. This mindset of continuous learning is essential for pushing beyond perceived limits.
Challenge Assumptions
Question assumptions: both your own and those of others. Rigorous Thinking - analyze ideas critically, identify potential weaknesses, and explore alternative perspectives. This process helps push beyond surface-level thinking and uncover new possibilities.
Communication and Influence:
gain buy-in
manage up effectively
navigate complex workplace dynamics
In Short
Challenge assumptions, embrace discomfort, and communicate effectively to break through limits.
