The new edition of an international bestseller helps individuals and
organizations shift to a new mindset that will improve performance,
spark collaboration, accelerate innovation, and make your life and the
lives of everyone around you better.
Without even being aware of it, many of us operate from an inward
mindset, a single-minded focus on our own goals and objectives. This
book points out the many ways, some quite subtle and deceptive, that
this mindset invites tension and conflict. But incredible things happen
when people switch to an outward mindset. They intuitively understand
what coworkers, colleagues, family, and friends need to be successful
and happy. Their organizations thrive, and astonishingly, by focusing on
others they become happier and more successful themselves! This new
mindset brings about deep and far-reaching changes.
The Outward Mindset presents compelling true stories to illustrate the
gaps that individuals and organizations typically experience between
their actual inward mindsets and their needed outward mindsets. And it
provides simple yet profound guidance and tools to help bridge this
mindset gap. This new edition includes a new preface, updated case
studies, and new material covering Arbinger's latest research on
mindsets. In the long run, changing negative behavior without changing
one's mindset doesn't last--the old behaviors always reassert
themselves. But changing the mindset that causes the behavior changes
everything.
