In a new article on CMO.com, Global Head of Wipro Digital, Rajan Kohli discusses why having a ‘growth mindset’ is as important – if not more important – as innate talent when it comes to preparing for the future of work: “…The age of rapid technological evolution means you simply cannot be content with the skills you have now or even the innate talent you were born with…The good news is that there’s a simple, decades-old approach to learning in the workplace that can help CMOs—and other marketers—stay ahead of the curve, adopt new skill sets, and constantly innovate: a growth mindset.” Here are the steps to get you there:

1. Accept What You Don’t Know—And Then Put In The Work To Learn
2. Ask Questions, Experiment, And Collaborate
3. Go Beyond Your Individual Growth And Become A “Servant Leader”
4. Embrace Failure As An Important Part Of The Creative Process
5. Finally, Commit To Lifelong Learning
