Growth Mindset
What Growth Mindset really means and why your boss talks about it
A Growth Mindset is the belief that your abilities can be developed through effort, learning, and persistence. Unlike a Fixed Mindset, where you believe your capabilities are static, with a Growth Mindset you see challenges as opportunities to improve.
How to use 'Growth Mindset' in a work conversation?
Instead of saying 'I'm not good at this', say: 'I have a growth mindset, so I'm going to learn and improve at this'. Or in a meeting: 'Our team needs to develop a growth mindset to adapt to these changes'.

“Thanks for the feedback. I have a growth mindset and see this as an opportunity to improve my presentation skills.”

“I know it's challenging, but with a growth mindset we can learn the necessary tools to achieve it.”
In a conversation with your team
“Let's foster a growth mindset in the team: mistakes are part of learning, not failures.”
