Abstract
This research employs a qualitative mixed-method research approach, integrating desk research for case analysis, thematic analysis, and comparative analyses to investigate the impact of fixed and growth mindsets on leadership succession dynamics. The metaphor “Fire begets ash but lions can give birth to jackals” serves as the conceptual framework for the study. Through a comparative analysis of leaders, the research explores how fixed and growth mindsets influence leadership succession practices. Systematic analysis of case studies and narratives challenges traditional theories while incorporating behavioral theory. The findings reveal a blended approach in leadership succession, incorporating both mindsets. The study establishes that deviating from normative bloodline succession practices enables leaders to integrate adaptability characteristics from behavioral leadership theory. This transformative journey enhances leadership skills, fosters resilience, openness to diverse perspectives, and forward-thinking approaches, shaping leaders into improved versions of their predecessors.
