 Our mindset shapes whether we believe we can learn, change, and grow. People with a fixed mindset believe that their abilities are set at birth, whereas people with a growth mindset believe that growth and development are possible, even for things that do not come naturally to them. These individuals view problems as challenges rather than obstacles, and see failure as a learning opportunity rather than a disaster. In her book, Mindset, the New Psychology of Success, Dr. Carol Dweck discusses research, showing that we can teach ourselves to change our mindset if we want to. By confronting our own attitudes and ideas, we can develop a growth mindset, enabling us to continue improving our talents and abilities. Setting that example for those we lead fosters a culture of learning and development, encouraging teams and the individuals within them to continuously strive to reach their fullest potential. Lead well this week.
