5 Dimensions of the Growth Mindset for Business Developers
A multi-disciplinary role
In every organisation, there needs to be a strong business developer, one who champions the company's vision, mission, values, products and services. A business developer needs to possess different skills like design thinking, strategic thinking and relationship building. The successful BD must be customer and objective focused, must be intellectually opportunistic and be able to embrace failure. That is a tall order for many, yet good BD professionals are prized for these abilities.
​
These will translate into key growth mindset traits, and understanding where you stand in these dimensions allows you to understand where you need to focus your development in to become good to great.
​
Because the BD professional's job never ends and thus her development similarly continues with each new customer, each new opportunity, each new market.
