“If you can make great decisions, you can always improve performance” Damien Colbert
“A lot of the time we make poor decisions and then try to rationalise our behaviour around it rather than starting with rational information and making a great decision” Damien Colbert
“A growth mindset drives people to want to be great contributors to the team. A fixed mindset creates selfishness and silo-ed-type behaviour where people want to contribute for themselves at the expense of the team” Damien Colbert
“Questions reveal more than statements…Ask not from a critical mind but from an inquisitive mind. People will then feel more appreciated” Damien Colbert
“Ask ‘What do you think?’ rather than ‘What do you know?’ ‘What do you know?’ merely goes on a historical point of view. ‘What do you think?’ starts to say ‘let’s analyse this…let’s move this forward and allows for growth in a conversation’. ” Damien Colbert
