Once your mindset changes, everything on the outside will change along with it.”
Steve Maraboli
Do you agree with this statement? Some may agree but not fully believe it. Others will be fully committed to the idea. Carol Dweck, an esteemed psychologist known for her work on mindset, introduced her popular notion of fixed and growth mindsets to explain how people can have a hand in their own success and outcomes.
The belief that an individual’s abilities, skills, intelligence, and talents are fixed traits that can’t be altered or adapted. Such people believe that traits are assigned at birth and they are the result of something that was pre-determined.
A fixed-mindset individual may say,
‘I am naturally good at dancing.’
They view themselves as the finished product and as incapable of achieving any more with ‘what they have been given’. They take on a passive role as a passenger in their life story. Other statements they make may include;
The belief that these things can be developed through dedication and hard work – brains and talent are just the starting point. Such people use what they’ve been “assigned” at birth purely as their starting point. They believe they are capable of improving their knowledge, skills, and intelligence through effort and the correct attitude. A growth mindset individual may say:
‘I went from having two left feet to being good at dancing because I took several dance lessons and practiced a lot’.
They take on a proactive role as the driver in the story of their life. Other statements they make may include;
In a business context, Fixed Mindsets are detrimental. People don’t challenge themselves because they don’t want to move outside their comfort zone. They can also take feedback personally as they often suffer from a victim mentality. Meanwhile, Growth Mindsets embrace challenges and development and learn from feedback, viewing it as constructive criticism. They are also more resilient in facing setbacks.
Time for some self-reflection! Which mindset do you have? If it’s fixed, don’t worry; changing to a growth mindset is possible!
