Award To succeed in a fast-changing world individuals and companies know they must create a
culture of growth where experimentation and feedback are encouraged and learning is
integrated into the everyday. Yet we often get stuck in a well-worn pattern of habits that
don’t move us forward. Why? Because many of us get trapped in the Performance Paradox: the
counterintuitive phenomenon that if we focus only on performing our performance suffers. How
can we give ourselves the space to experiment and grow while also delivering high-level
results? Fostering growth mindset to elevate performance is Eduardo Briceño’s specialty. As CEO
of Mindset Works and in his work with Fortune 500 companies he discovered that mastering
growth—personal organizational and financial—hinges on navigating the crucial balance between
learning and performing. In The Performance Paradox Briceño reveals how to • avoid falling
into the chronic performance trap that stagnates growth • identify when and how to unlock the
power of mistakes • integrate learning into daily habits in ways that stick • lead teams that
constantly improve and outperform their targets • grow your skill level and output
simultaneously and for the long term We can achieve more tomorrow than we do today if we
develop the belief that we can change and the competence for how to change. With Briceño’s
innovative and refreshing framework of balancing learning and performing individuals and
companies can reach their boldest aspirations.
