THE POWER OF MINDSET
Leads to desire to
look smart
Leads to desire to learn
Growth Mindset Fixed Mindset Intelligence is static
Intelligence can be
developed
DR. CAROL DWECK
MINDSET AND COMPANY CULTURE “We know from our studies that people with the fixed mindset do not admit and correct their deficiencies. And a company that cannot self-correct cannot survive . . . Instead of learning, growing, and moving the company forward, everyone starts worrying about being judged . . . It’s hard for courage and innovation to survive a company-wide fixed mindset.”
DR. CAROL DWECK
MINDSET AND LEADERSHIP “In the fixed mindset it’s not enough just to succeed. It’s not enough just to look smart and talented. You have to be pretty much flawless. And you have to be flawless right away... After all, if you have it you have it, and if you don’t you don’t... This desire to think of yourself as perfect is often called CEO disease.”
DR. CAROL DWECK
