In this episode, Jason Schroeder walks superintendents through one of the biggest performance separators on a jobsite: mindset. He explains the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset, why a fixed mindset causes leaders to avoid challenges and ignore feedback, and how that's exactly how people get stuck at the same level for years. He also gives a practical way to "self-check" your thinking in real time, use feedback as fuel, and keep learning so you can lead better, progress faster, and live more burden-free.
What you'll learn in this episode:
· The difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset, and how each one shows up in the field
· Why fixed mindset leaders avoid challenges, resist feedback, and plateau early in their careers
· How a growth mindset helps you persist through obstacles, learn from criticism, and fail forward
· Why superintendents cannot afford "I've been doing this for 40 years" thinking if they want to lead at the next level
· A simple personal check-in to reset your mindset when you feel defensive, jealous, or afraid to be wrong
When feedback hits or a new idea challenges your routine, do you default to defending what you know or committing to what you can still learn?
