 Basics of Developmental Psychology and Its Significance for the MindsetSvenja Hofert () Chapter 2 in The Agile Mindset, 2022, pp 29-87 from Springer Abstract: Abstract If you have a pubescent teenager at home who thinks that everyone should look after themselves first, sit back and relax. This is normal if we understand normality as a statistical quantity – the majority of teenagers are like that. It is not quite normal, however, if this also applies to a 60-year-old, because then he has stopped at a stage of development that he shares with only a few. In this case, after puberty there has been no development of thinking and action logic. There was only in-formation not transformation. No matter how successful the person with this mindset is or was. And success is anything but impossible: While some with an adolescent stage of development end up in prisons, others build political and economic empires with thislogic. However, if they want to implement a culture change and increase agility, they will fail precisely because of this thinking, if their company has a strong power base or if it is not integrated or committed enough consistently. Backroom actions are always to be expected here: These people will not be able to think of the aspects connected with this, and therefore will not be able to derive corresponding actions.
