Mindset Impact
- Mindsets are beliefs about abilities that shape actions and outcomes.
- Two types exist: fixed (abilities are static) and growth (abilities can develop).
Fixed Mindset in Corporations
- Enron and McKinsey prioritized hiring "naturals" with minimal training.
- This fixed mindset approach led to constant evaluation and fear of mistakes.
Growth Mindset Embraces Challenges
- A growth mindset views challenges as opportunities for learning and development.
- It focuses on continuous improvement and effort rather than innate talent.
