Carol Dweck

Koren — Mon, 11 May 2009 12:00:56 +0000

Stanford psychologist Professor Carol Dweck research has focused on why people succeed and how to foster success. In her book Mindset, Professor Dweck states “how you think of yourself can determine the outcomes of your life.”

Listen to the interview as Professor Dweck explains:

Growth & Fixed Mindset
Mindset vs talent
Self – esteem & Mindset
Children & Mindset
Changing Mindset

Following the interview I asked Professor Dweck “What is the relationship between possessing a growth mindset and success as an entrepreneur.” Professor Dweck responded:

“…in my book I have a chapter on business and leadership in which I analyze the characteristics of successful leaders: the desire to take on challenges (as opposed to the desire to feed one’s ego), the desire for honest feedback (as opposed to the flattering feedback), the ability to face problems and setbacks and remain effective (as opposed to denying problems or blaming them on others), the desire to have great people on your team (as opposed to being threatened by others’ talents). These qualities are especially important in times like these, and each is a characteristic of the growth mindset. Recent research has examined this directly, examining business people who had breakout results with a new idea or product. The major thing they shared was a growth mindset.”
