Growth Mindset
Intelligence and abilities are fixed things, Many people thinks like that as given by birth.
They did it by asking kids to take a NON-verbal IQ test in two groups, kids passed the test.
Congratulate second group by saying, “You must have worked hard really”.
During the training, we will talk in detail about the distinction between the fixed
mindset and the growth mindset.
Before we go any further, I would like you to take a few moments to identify,
among the following sentences, which ones you think are fixed mindset and
which ones are growth mindset.
I'll give you the correction further down on this same page.
I like challenges//growth
Talent is innate//fixed
Correction
Your self image largely determines how you conduct your life.
In NLP, we say that perception is projection
People with the fixed mindset believe that their quality is a gift from nature
and cannot be changed.
People with a growth mindset believe that their skills, qualities, intelligence,
memory, decision making All of these things can be developed through hard
work, persistence and help from others.
If you have never done origami in your life, you see this and you say to
yourself, Wow, that looks
Growth Mindset:
1.Self Image
3.Taking full responsibility for your results and where you are today.
So I suggest that you take stock of things in your life in the following areas:
your health, the quality of your relationship, your finances, your spirituality,
your career and your social contribution.
It's my bosses fault if I can't progress or it's the taxes' fault if I can't make
more money or he's stressing
So by mastering these three keys, you would gain confidence, you would
become clear about what you want and what is blocking you today.
“This part filters all the information we receive to keep only the information
that is really important”
If you constantly repeat that you are unlucky. Your reticular activating
system will filter out any opportunity that may prove you wrong.
I'm one of those people who think that we can have it all health, relationship,
and finances if we are disciplined and if we put things in place to achieve our
goals.
7.Risk Taking:
This distinction stems from their relationship to difficulties and risk taking.
People with a growth mindset are fond of phrases like Failure is part of
success or whoever tries.
While people with a fixed mindset disagree with these phrases or they don't
practice them, they say to themselves, No risk, no failure.
Is it hiding learned helplessness if you are not familiar with the term learned
helplessness?
I would like to explain it with the behavior that we see in elephants. You know
that elephants, when they are small, they are tied to a strong tree trunk to
teach them to
It was a quote from Seneca that said "it's not because things are difficult that
we don't dare, it is, because we do not dare that they are difficult."
Keep in mind that the growth mindset is not just about intelligence.\
In fact, some people can show a growth mindset in the area of intelligence,
which means that these people believe that their intelligence can be
developed and are doing things to improve themselves in this area.
But these same people can show a fixed mindset in other areas, such as
creativity, for example, or sport or art.
These people may think that, for example, drawing is a gift from nature.
Either we knew how to draw or we don't.
And I'm telling you about all this to tell you that natural talent is not
everything.
PYGMALION EFECT:
The origin of the name big comes from the legend that a sculptor from
ancient Greek, creates a statue that was so beautiful that he ends up falling
in love with it and one day returning from a party dedicated to the goddess
Aphrodite. He kisses the statue. The goddess Aphrodite, the goddess of
love, saw this and decided to bring the statute to life. Then they got married
and had a great love story. So it was for the history and origin of the name.
This experiment showed this that children who thought they were dealing
with exceptional rats showed them more empathy,
encouragement and support, while the other group has expressed opposite
intentions.
What these two studies show us, that is thinking student is intelligent leads
to improved performance.
The opposite is also true, and it's called the Golem effect. If a teacher thinks
a student is below average, their belief would have a negative impact on the
student's performance.
So your beliefs about your team members or colleagues are super important.
Your actions impact their beliefs, which influence their results and that
influence your beliefs again.
It's a circle that can be virtuous or vicious, depending or your initial beliefs.
If you think that your employees consider their work as a chore and they will
do everything to work to avoid working. You will surely stalk them closely
and micromanaged them. On the other hand, if you think your people love
their jobs, you will naturally trust them more and give them more freedom
and flexibility. This is exactly the theory developed by Douglas MacGregor
He explains that the leaders belief affects his leadership style. This is what
he calls Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X represents authoritarian leaders.
These leaders have rather a negative view on their of their employees. They
are pessimistic about seeing their employees self-motivate and take
initiatives. They think that people who work for them are demotivated and
don't like their jobs. They therefore believe that they should be constantly
pushed to work punished or, on the contrary, offer them rewards to motivate
them to complete tasks.
Theory Y represents leaders who are optimistic and have positive opinion of
their people. It is decentralized and collaborative style of leadership. Leaders
encourage creativity, initiative and communication.
In other words, telling someone that they are talented or that they are
geniuses limits their development. A better approach would be to focus on
their efforts, on their progress, on facts. For example, I can see that you
worked very hard to achieve this, or I would like to know what you used as a
strategy to achieve this result.
It's tempting to tell your kid that he is a genius, that he is the next Picasso.
But given that kind of praise, doesn't really do him a favor. This talent
becomes a burden that holds him back and prevents him from learning and
growing. Carol Dweck confirms all of this with studies she had conducted
she has conducted with children.
Those who received encouragement for their tenacity, courage, effort, liked
challenges and found them fun, whereas the others who have been told that
they are talented. We noticed that they were less and less efficient when
these students faced more difficult exercises.
Imagine that children become less good because of the praise for their talent
and their diligence.
Since this was a kind of IQ test, it can be concluded that praise for talent
lowered Student's IQ and that praise for the efforts uplifted them.
Now, let's talk more concretely about feedback, how to give feedback
effectively. Let's say that you want to give your feedback to a team member
or you want to help him improve some aspect of his work.
First, confirm with the person that now is a good time to chat and that the
place is right for them.
Next, start your conversation by clearly stating your intentions. For example,
today is your annual review meeting, and I would like us to look at your
performance this year and give you some feedback or I organized this
meeting to talk about your presentation yesterday in front of the department
and give you some areas of improvement for next time.
By being clear about your purpose and intentions, you leave no room for
ambiguity.
The person in front of you knows exactly what you are going to talk about
and they don't have to guess where you are going. Then describe the
situation. The idea here is to describe the situation by talking about the facts
and what you noticed, avoid generalities like you always come late or you
always provoke others in meetings, or you never finished your work on time.
Talk about facts and what you observed. For example, I noticed that last
week you arrived three times after 10:30. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, or
during this morning's presentation, I thought that you went into too much
detail about the budget of Project X y z. Be precise, specific and avoid
generalities by describing your side of the story and what you saw. Then
describe your reaction. Explain how you felt about the situation. So you
share the consequences of the person's actions and behavior. Very often,
people do not realize the impact of their words or actions. So help the person
become aware of the situation by giving examples and explaining how you
felt. Or I don't feel respected when a member of my team comes late for
various meetings with top management,
So say something like what do you think? How do you see the situation? Or I
would love to hear your view on this and keep silent. And here is an
important note to remember the silence can be uncomfortable for some. You
have to take it upon yourself and wait for the response, especially when you
are chatting with an introvert.
Introverts, will think in their heads first, and they will not share what they
think immediately.
Five suggest areas for improvement. I find it best to ask the person how they
think they can solve the problem or improve the situation. The person will be
much more motivated to put measures in place if they come from them, if
they are the ones who proposed them.
Blocking Points for the growth mindset (And How to overcome them).
The first thing I would like to share with you is the fear of failure.
Talent VS Effort
It shocked me the first time I noticed my inner voice. I realized I was yelling at
myself all the time. I used to insult myself often. I told myself that I sucked,
that I was not going to make it. And unfortunately I am not the only one to
have lived with a similar voice.
I have good news for you. You can change that voice.
To change this voice, we're going to take on the role of a sound engineer.
The vocabulary
What type of vocabulary does this voice use? Does it use swear words,
insults?
How fast is it speaking? fast or slow?
Now that we are clear on the characteristics of this voice. We can start the
work of modifying it to make it more enjoyable.
If the current voice is speaking loudly, why not turn down the volume a little?
If this voice uses negative vocabulary or swear words, why not change that
vocabulary to make it more positive?
For example, instead of saying "I suck". You can say "Every day I get better and
better."
If you are feeling stress, you can use a calm and soft voice that says "I am
relaxed and at ease" or "I have complete confidence in myself and my
abilities."
And there are no limits. You can play with this voice as you like.
If you want to motivate yourself for example. You can use a slightly faster
voice that is still pleasant at a higher volume.
If you want to relax, you can use a softer and calmer voice.
Now it's your turn. From today, make a decision to pay attention to this inner
voice. You are in complete control of the situation.
