How do you react when something goes wrong?
Do you get frustrated and only focus on the problem? Or do you see the opportunity to learn and grow?
As a leader, you need to be resilient and having a growth mindset is key to make sure you don’t lose your mind!
Dr. Carol Dweck is famous for bringing the concept of a growth mindset to the world stage. It is a pretty simple concept, when you shift your thinking from negative and problems to positive and solutions, you are more successful and happier.
