The Growth Mindset Explained

 

Carol Uweck Is widely known Tor her work in tis field. Ihrough her research, she
identified two mindsets: fixed and growth, A fixed mindset is, "believing your qualities
are carved in stone," while a growth mindset is “the belief that your basic qualitios are
things you can cultivate through your efforts” (Dweck, 2016, pp. 6-7). The experience of
[5] these mindsets is on a continuum. It is not possible to always operate from one or the
other. For example, you might have a fixed or growth perspective about your math ability.
Maybe you think that you are horrible with numbers because they do not come naturally
to you. In your mind, you either "get" math or you don't. On the other hand, you could
have a growth mindset if you believe you have the ability to leam math because it is a
[10] skill that a person develops. Your perspective is that you do not understand it — yet. An
individual also could have a fixed mindset in one area of their life and a growth mindset
in another. Maybe you believe you are not athleticaly-inclined, so you avoid sports or
other physicaly-demanding activities. You believe people are born with athletic prowess.
They have a natural talent that you do not possess. In another area of your life, you feel
[15] confident in your public-speaking ability. so you seek out opportunities to do that more
often. You also believe it is a skill that develops with practice. Each time you do it and
receive feedback, you leam how to get better. This motivates you to keep doing it. It is
easy to understand how a fixed mindset could hold a person back. In our math ability
example, that person might avoid seeking jobs that involve math. The bottom line is that
[20] some people operate from the perspective that intelligence is a finite thing. Others
believe it is mutable. In an article for the Harvard Business Review (Dweck, 2016), she
points out three areas of confusion some experience regarding her research. First,
people mix up open-mindedness and positivity with having a growth mindset, believing
that they have always had a growth mindset, and therefore, always will. Second, some
[25] people believe that praising and rewarding effort is all that matters. Her research
demonstrated that acknowledging the process is critical, as is the leaming and progress
that led to the process. Finally, sometimes people think that if they talk about a growth
mindset, or put up posters about it, that is all that is needed. Without doing any work to
create a growth mindset culture or environment, those posters are just paper on a wal.
[30] Having a growth mindset involves understanding that taking appropriate risks sometimes
leads to failure. The difference though is in how a person with a growth mindset defines
and rebounds from that failure. People who consistently develop and maintain a growth
mindset share the following characteristics (Dweck, 2016, p. 245). They embrace
challenges, persist in the face of setbacks, see effort as the path to mastery, learn from
[35] criticism, find lessons and inspiration in the success of others. It is not enough to shift
one's mindset, We also need a healthy dose of grit and resilience to achieve short and
long-term goals.
