Mary C. Murphy's Cultures of Growth contrasts "Cultures of Genius," which emphasize innate ability and competition, with "Cultures of Growth," which foster a belief in malleable abilities and collaboration. The book argues that growth mindsets are crucial for individual and organizational success, exploring how environmental cues shape mindsets and impact outcomes like innovation, diversity, and ethical behavior. Murphy uses numerous examples from various fields, including business, education, and science, to illustrate the practical applications of these concepts and provide strategies for cultivating growth mindsets. She emphasizes the importance of leadership in shaping organizational culture and offers practical steps for creating a growth-oriented environment. The text also examines the impact of evaluative situations, high-effort tasks, and the success of others on individual and group mindsets.
