ICommunicate Radio Show #119: Modeling A Reductive Mindset

You’ve probably heard of a growth mindset, but what about a reductive mindset. A mindset that focuses on applying new strategies, improvements, and ideas to replace what you are already doing instead of adding to what seems like a never-ending to-do list. In this week’s episode of ICommunicate, Mark discusses how to apply the things you are learning to replace instead of add to your day to day responsibilities.

Segment 4: How can we provide a platform for open and honest feedback? How can we ensure that our employees feel integral to the team and heard?
