Carol Dweck’s Growth Mindset Theory
There are two types of mindset we can cultivate: one that embraces problems as opportunities to learn, and one that avoids them often out of fear to fail.
Fixed Mindset vs. Growth Mindset
People have a fixed mindset because they believe the basic qualities like intelligence or talents are fixed traits and that these traits are responsible for success. They often like to document past achievements.
On the other hand, people with a growth mindset people believe that new abilities can be developed through practice.
To develop a growth mindset, Dr. Carol Dweck advised these:
Teachers should applaud students for any grade if they studied hard.
Parents should encourage their children to develop any new skill they are interested in.
Why do modern companies look for employees with the growth mindset?
Because they solve problems and persist despite obstacles.
