The nature of mindsets part 2. We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims.” — Buckminster Fuller
The three basic mindsets “The most important question anyone can ask is: What myth am I living?” — Carl Jung While everyone’s mindset is unique there are some common types that are useful to be aware of. This includes the Fixed, Growth and Benefit Mindsets which reflect common beliefs people hold about the nature of learning and leadership. A Fixed Mindset is symbolised by the everyday expert. “In a Fixed Mindset people believe their basic abilities, their intelligence, their talents, are fixed traits. They have a certain amount and that’s that, and then their goal becomes to look smart all the time and never look dumb.” — Carol Dweck A Growth Mindset is symbolised by the everyday learner. “In a Growth Mindset people understand that their talents and abilities can be developed through effort and persistence. They don’t necessarily think everyone’s the same or anyone can be Einstein, but they believe everyone can get smarter if they work at it.” — Carol Dweck A Benefit Mi
