Corporate Culture

The right mindset is a prerequisite for the high-performance culture we are striving to build. Our main thrust over the past years has been to inspire and foster a player-learner mindset throughout our workforce.

Learner

You and I see the world differently. The way in which you deal with such differences defines you as a “learner” or a “knower”. Are you acting as a “knower” pushing your knowledge and opinions on to others? Or are you a “learner” where the approach is to, in a more humble way, use questions to understand the person you are dealing with?

Player

You have it in your hands how you respond to a situation. If you take responsibility or if you act self-disempowering defines you as a “player” or a “victim”. Are you taking the role of a “victim”, always in the hands of external forces and not able to influence the outcome yourself? Or are you more of a “player”, where you are in control of what is happening and could affect the outcome?

Player-Learner

This works best when everyone in the company takes responsibility for their own response to any situation (player mindset) and is truly curious about the opinions and ideas of others (learner mindset).

Player-Learners inspire trust; they are energized and embrace change; they listen, find out, share, collaborate, take risks, find solutions, learn by doing, encourage and celebrate.
