HOW TO GO FROM A FIXED MINDSET TO A GROWTH MINDSET Your mindset is the collection of notions and beliefs that reflect how you see the world and make sense of it. In the corporate world, you often focus your energy on short-term goals. Your personal growth and the company's long-term targets can get blindsided in this process. Over a period, you develop rigid ideas about your capabilities that limit you further from improving daily. A Stanford University psychologist, Carol Susan Dweck, has studied mindsets of success and achievement for over four decades. She puts forth the idea of two mindsets - fixed and growth. These mindsets manifest themselves in all aspects of your life and dictate how you face challenges and deal with failure. Here is a guide to understanding fixed and growth mindsets and how adopting the latter can benefit your career and personal life. Fixed Mindset vs. Growth Mindset Individuals with a fixed mindset consider their intelligence, talents, and abilities to be determined at birth and inherently unchangeable throughout their lives. They assume that these traits are caught in amber and cannot be improved upon. Moreover, they think that talent, even without effort, brings success. In contrast to a fixed mindset, individuals that have a growth mindset view intelligence and talent as traits that can be developed and improved through learning and dedicated effort. They believe that having the talent and ability is just the means to success and not success itself. Fostering a growth mindset enables you to take failure in your stride and learn from your mistakes. This resilience is critical for achieving bigger goals in life and building yourself for extraordinary things. Here is a comparison between fixed and growth mindsets in a corporate workplace. Say you have been working on a big project for months, but due to unforeseen circumstances, the launch flops. With a fixed mindset, you will believe that your time and efforts were wasted. You will steer clear of opportunities for similar projects and roles in the future because you will accept that they are not suitable for your talent and skill set. Instead, you will stick to what you know and choose projects with lesser scope for growth. On the other hand, if you have a growth mindset, you will pay more attention to your learnings and takeaways from the project rather than the failure itself. Your mindset will help you focus on the process, and you will realize that failure is only a temporary setback and seek newer opportunities to hone your acquired skills. Beware of a False Growth Mindset When asked if they have a growth mindset, people are known to reply "Yes" instantly, without considering the question. That might be a symptom of false growth awareness. Everyone has a fixed mindset about some part of their life. You might have a growth mindset at your workplace but be too quick to quit your guitar lessons at home. It is crucial to identify and know yourself better to make progress. A growth mindset is not just about putting in the effort
