Growth Mindset


Growth Mindset

Stanford psychologist

Dr. Carol Dweck

Ref: Dweck, Mindset (2008)

Growth Mindset leads to a desire to learn, so tends to:

Believe that skills can always

improve with hard work

Fixed Mindset leads to a desire to look good, so tends to:

Believe that most skills are based on traits that

are fixed and cannot change





See effort as a path to mastery

and therefore essential

Embrace challenges and see them

as opportunity to grow




See effort as unnecessary; something to

do when you’re not good enough

Avoid challenges because could reveal

lack of skill; tends to give up easily









See feedback as useful for

learning and improving

View setbacks as a wake-up call

to work harder next time








See feedback as personally threatening to

sense of self and gets defensive

View setbacks as discouraging;

tends to blame others









See feedback as useful for

learning and improving

View setbacks as a wake-up call

to work harder next time

Find lessons and inspiration in

the success of others

As a result, they reach ever-higher levels

of potential and performance.








See feedback as personally threatening to

sense of self and gets defensive

View setbacks as discouraging;

tends to blame others

Feel threatened by the success of others;

may undermine others in effort to look good
