Growth Mindset research perspectives by Carol Dweck reveals about underlying beliefs people have about learning and intelligence. When students believe they can get smarter, they understand that effort makes them stronger. The mind plays a quintessential role in the existence of humanity. Spiritualists, psychiatrist and institutional theorists have been studying the mind for a very long time. A single method of defining mind may not be adequate. The mind can be defined as a bundle of thoughts – and is often linked to energy patterns.
Carol Dweck’s seminal paper about the growth mindset, suggests that people with a growth mindset (relative to a fixed mindset) can perform better and achieve higher outcomes in a given activity. She also states that –“In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment.” –Dweck, 2015
Growth mindset typically focuses on talent development (through hard-work- dedication & strategy also going beyond hierarchies), high appetite for risk and failures, strong learning instinct to nurture their curiosity and have a never ending thirst for knowledge, willing to take feedback to hone their skills further and finally celebrating success of others and looking at collaborative forces to drive results.
