INNOVATION

Intelligence is static

Desire to look smart

(Goal: be smart now)

Desire to learn

(Goal: become smarter)

These place people on different paths by

influencing behaviors and tendencies

Present-focused

Self-worth and identity tied to

outcome

Potential is sum of current

capabilities

Future-focused

Potential is based on continued

effort and learning

Dweck, Carol S. Mindset: The New Psychology of Success. New York: Ballantine Books. 2006.

Intelligence can be developed

Self-worth and identity tied to personal

development

Fixed mindset Growth mindset

INNOVATION

Challenges

Success of others

Criticism

Effort

Obstacles

…avoid challenges

…get defensive or give up easily

…see effort as fruitless or worse

…ignore useful negative feedback

…feel threatened by success of others

…embrace challenges

…persist in the face of setbacks

…see effort as the path to mastery

…learn from criticism

…find lessons and inspiration in the

success of others

Intelligence is static Intelligence can be developed

As a result, we may plateau

early and achieve less than our

full potential

As a result, we achieve higher

than our potential

Fixed mindset Growth mindset

Individuals who strive endlessly for success (the fixed mindset) end up being

less successful in the long term than those who strive for learning and

personal development (the growth mindset).

Here is the paradox:

Therefore, do not focus on the outcome, but on the journey and personal

growth that comes with it. Then will you become truly successful!

To INNOVATE:

We need to break the Habit

Loop!
