Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Despite a common belief, every organization’s DEI challenges are unique. Leveraging others’ best practices will only get you part of the way. Follow the science to drive true culture transformation at scale. Learn More Case Study: Splunk Splunk is a technology company that turns data into actions and business outcomes. Headquartered in San Francisco, California, the firm came to the NeuroLeadership Institute (NLI) looking to reduce the influence of bias in its daily processes. Scaling rapidly, it made a commitment to cultivating a culture of inclusion and making Splunk a place where all people can thrive. As a company that turns data into actions, Splunk wanted a training that takes a science-backed approach to unconscious bias so that the content would resonate and stick with all levels and functions of employees. Full Case Study Align your business goals with DEI goals Ensure that both leaders and employees know what the benefits are for themselves and how it grows the organization. Drive for shifting habits, not increasing awareness Awareness is an important step, but without habit activation and formation there will be no measurable behavior change.

Leadership

Leadership Whether you’re trying to become more innovative, agile, or inclusive, changing culture is really a matter of changing shared everyday habits. Those habits are motivated by clear principles, reinforced by congruent systems, and modeled by leaders across the organization. Rather than mistaking priorities for strategies, we work with clients to see through the behavior change that yields the culture they’re looking for. View Leadership Solutions Case Study: Microsoft As detailed in the Harvard Business Review, Microsoft remade its leadership framework with the brain in mind—going from exhaustive detail to essential principles. Concurrently, it also embraced a growth mindset, shifting from a culture of know-it-alls to a culture of learn-it-alls. Full Case Study https://vimeo.com/276496334 Liz Friedman, Global Performance & Management, Microsoft, on the tech firm’s culture work with NLI. THOUGHT LEADERSHIP Our latest thinking on power, learning, and all things culture and leadership. How Microsoft Overhauled Its Approach to Growth Mindset As Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has put it, leaders should be striving for an organization full of “learn-it-alls,” not “know-it-alls.” Growth Mindset Doesn’t Mean Anyone Can Get to… Growth mindset means people believe they can get better through practice, not that anyone can become an expert at anything. Growth Mindset Is Essential If Leaders Hope to… Growth mindset, the research indicates, can help leaders adapt to the automation of labor and other forms of the AI revolution. So You Have a Fixed Mindset — Here’s… If you feel stuck, you may have a fixed mindset about growth mindset itself. Here’s how to shift your thinking if you catch yourself using a fixed mindset. We Talked to 20 Orgs About Growth Mindset… In-depth interviews with organizations about growth mindset revealed a fascinating collection of goals, use cases, obstacles, and outcomes. You’ve Heard of Growth Mindset, but What Is… One of the most well-established psychological concepts, growth mindset, has exploded among leadership. But how do you cultivate growth mindset culture?

Performance

Talent & Performance The conventional wisdom says that performance comes down to how employees are rated and paid. But the science suggests that it’s really a matter of the quality of conversations being had. That’s because conversation is the linchpin of performance, connecting everything from goal setting to everyday feedback to career conversations, from talent strategy down to manager capability. View Talent & Performance Solutions Research Feedback is traditionally given and structured. This makes feedback a threatening situation — and as new experimental research shows, it’s uncomfortable for the giver and receiver. This leads to more imprecise feedback, given less. The switch: getting to a culture of asking for feedback. Working with NLI, Microsoft has started the journey — and it’s already creating huge changes in the tech giant. For more Performance research, see the NeuroLeadership Journal, including in-depth scientific articles on feedback, engagement, and rewards.
