Course overview

Topic time estimate: 3 Minutes

Welcome to your transformative journey towards leadership excellence!

Groundbreaking research by Carol Dweck at Stanford University unveils how our beliefs fundamentally alter our brain’s response to challenges. This course explores the paradigm-shifting concepts of fixed and growth mindsets and their profound impact on personal and organisational growth.

Dweck’s studies illuminate a stark contrast: individuals with a fixed mindset, who see intelligence and talent as static traits, show minimal brain activity when faced with challenges. Conversely, those with a growth mindset exhibit significant brain activation, demonstrating a belief in the potential to develop abilities through dedication and hard work. This insight is captured perfectly in this quote:

“It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer. 

– Albert Einstein
