The Growth Mindset on the Job
Alison Bailin | July 7, 2015
Last week, HMATime introduced the concept of the “fixed mindset,” based on my recent HMA Book Club selection, “Mindset: The New Psychology of Success.” If you remember from the post (available here), someone who has a tendency toward a fixed mindset feels that he or she must always be perfect; never ask for help; get […]
