An image of a sailboat floating down a river that ends in a steep waterfall. The boat bravely charges forward over the falls, landing gracefully on a fluffy cloud. The cloud lifts the boat past the cascading water and continues the journey beyond. End of image description.

Most leaders believe they have the mindset for growth, but few take the necessary steps to actively pursue it. To learn more about how companies can unleash their full potential to drive growth, check out the latest edition of the Five Fifty.
A group of circular icon arrays shows 5 different growth mindsets of surveyed leaders, as well as their corresponding actions. For the first mindset, “boldly pursue growth,” only 30% of surveyed leaders reported increasing their resourcing for growth initiatives during periods of volatility. For the second mindset, “prioritize investing in growth,” only 29% focused a third or more of their time on long-term growth initiatives. For the third mindset, “put customers at the center,” only 15% consistently incorporated customer input into business decisions. For the fourth mindset, “execute with rigor to derisk growth,” only 10% felt they had sufficient data and insights to support their growth decisions. For the fifth mindset, “attract and nurture the best talent on growth,” only 8% expressed high confidence in their organizations’ talent planning. End of image description.
