Inspired by an infographic I came across on Pinterest.

Growth Mindset or Fixed Mindset - which is best for employees?

Understanding if you or your colleagues has a fixed or growth mindset can be a good indicator of how likely they are to overcome difficulties, in their day to day duties. So, let's break down these two mindsets:

A Growth Mindset employee is malleable - able to leverage their talents and skills, even look to obtain new skills to overcome problems to ensure a successful outcome.

A Fixed Mindset employee is rigid - tend to stay with their known talents and skills, they often won't push to learn new skills to overcome problems.

It's important to highlight that not everyone fits cleanly into one camp or the other, but understanding the needs and wants of employees with these mindsets is key to the success of any business. So, which is mindset is best?

A growth mindset has been linked to more productive and positive teams. However, it is not always the norm - it's important to access your own situation to find the best fit for you.

Personally, I feel a growth mindset is the best choice. It gives you the flexibility and belief that you and your team can achieve anything that comes their way - Adapt & Overcome!
