Now, that our son is growing up and along his dream vehicles keep growing in number of wheels, I want to share with you how scorecard management can benefit a Growth Mindset.
​When he turned 2 years old, his biggest dream was owning a wheel-barrow. His parents, however, found themselves far away from dreaming during nighttime. The little one arrived in their bed during nights and kept them awake. The situation required true leadership and a professional approach:
​
The “Sleeps in his Own Bed”-Scorecard was born!

The Scorecard got designed and introduced to safe the family and let alone make dreams come true.
It all worked so well – our son scored well, the parents slept well and finally the wheel-barrow arrived at the family home. What a great learning and accomplishment we thought, not knowing the best to come.

Weeks later, the Engel-Family was driving through the city when once at a sudden a voice from the back-seat turned up: “Look daddy, he sleeps in his own bed!”.​

Yes, it is magic, we all witnessed a street worker with his own wheel-barrow. Unfortunately, we had to leave the scene without confirming the reverse hypothesis but in good faith that scorecards can make the world a better place - Just espouse a growth mindset, and good things will happen.​

• When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant, I could hardly stand to have the old man around - But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.
