Praise and Reviews

“If I had read The Power of the Learning Mindset during my years leading Inc. and Fast Company, it would have changed how I approached leadership. Absorb the lessons and examples in this book, and you’ll shift how you see the information flowing through your company―and your life.” ―ERIC SCHURENBERG, Founder of Alliance for Trust in Media and former CEO of Mansueto Ventures, parent of Inc. and Fast Company------------------------------- “Fresh, insightful, and actionable―The Power of the Learning Mindset proves that the best leaders never stop learning, and shows exactly how to put that into practice.” ―DORIE CLARK, Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author of The Long Game------------------------------- “I loved this book. It is both visionary and intensely practical. The two frames it shares are powerful agents of reflection and embedded action. And its careful structure means you will never get lost. The structure is clear and this makes the book super accessible. The learning mindset is not just nice to have but a core power skill for survival in this brittle and incomprehensible age. This is our guidebook for thriving and growing.” ―DR. NIGEL PAINE, Co-Presenter of Learning Now TV, and bestselling author of The Great Reset------------------------------- “In this fresh and fascinating book, Lilian Ajayi Ore and Marshall Goldsmith show why continuous learning is essential for anyone seeking to positively impact what often seems a post-truth world. Their highly original distinction between mastery―having achieved expertise―and prowess―the ongoing refinement of skills and knowledge―adds a helpful dimension to how we understand both excellence and authenticity. Best of all, they show how leaders and coaches can cultivate prowess, in themselves and those they serve.” ―SALLY HELGESEN, international bestselling author of How Women Rise and Rising Together, and cited in Forbes as the World’s Premier Women’s Leadership Expert------------------------------- “This is a smart, practical guide to leading with curiosity. It gives executives clear moves to build teams that learn fast and adapt even faster. It deserves a permanent spot on every leader’s desk.” ―RYAN PAUGH, President of Community.co and Co-Founder of Forbes Nonprofit Council
