In Mindset Matters: How Mindset Shifts Unlock Extraordinary Leadership, Dave van der Merwe explores 25 shifts that leaders in the South African context can adopt to achieve extraordinary impact.
Mindset can be described as a perspective or attitude, yet at its core it is the daily choice of how we respond to life’s challenges. Every moment offers the opportunity to react or to respond with intention. Because mindset shapes decisions and behaviours, it is a crucial leadership capability. The choices leaders make can profoundly influence not only their own path but also the lives of those around them.
Through case studies, stories, and practical tools, the author provides concrete steps to cultivate a positive mindset. These shifts can foster leadership that inspires others and unlocks their true potential. Among the shifts discussed are:
- From self-centred to human-centred
- From lack of appreciation to giving recognition
- From disconnection and misalignment to shared purpose
- From stifling talent to nurturing growth and potential
- From stagnation to curiosity, openness, and innovation
In a society where negativity and pessimism often prevail, leaders who adopt a growth mindset can make a meaningful difference in the organisations and communities they serve.
This book is a valuable guide for current and aspiring leaders in business, education, NGOs, and beyond.
