How a Growth Mindset Leads to High Performance
Today’s guest is our very own Alan Haefele, Owner and Managing Director here at Haefele Software.
He’s the perfect person to join this roundtable episode, where we scrutinize what it takes to produce a high-performing development team.
More specifically, in this episode we discuss:
- The Haefele Software steering column
- 3 lenses that help define high performance
- The growth mindset required for high-performing people and teams
- How to identify high performance
Building a high performing dev team.
Building a high performing dev team.
It’s not rocket science.
It’s much harder, actually.
Why?
Because maths is predictable. It does the same thing over and over again.
You rarely (because anything is possible) find a number evolving into another number spontaneously.
People, on the other hand, are much more complex.
Figuring them each out, then as an interconnected team, takes immense skill and patience.
This is why we look at high performance from three distinct lenses at Haefele Software:
>1. What the client’s definition is.
>2. What our business’s overall definition is.
>3. What each individual team member of ours believes it is and what we’re each doing to achieve it.
There was no better guest for this episode than our own Alan Haefele.
Are you part of a high-performing team?
