    Educational Mindset

    Growth by most definitions is an increase of some sort or another. Growth means starting at one point and continually achieving more over time. The growth mindset is no different. The concept of the growth mindset is that over time and throughout one’s life, they continually adapt, change, and achieve a higher level of understanding about themselves and how they perceive themselves. This growth is due to the fact that they are generally able to identify their faults and weaknesses as well as understand their strengths. They accept the fact that they have these deficiencies, however, they are not satisfied with them, therefore they attempt to fix them or change them. This mindset that one is never done growing, learning, developing or bettering themselves is the basis for the “growth mindset” and the epitome of what these types of individuals stand for. The ideal example of a person that would have to have a growth mindset is a golfer. Every golfer knows that they could always do better the next time. Whether it be a missed put or a shanked nine iron, there is no such thing as a perfect round. Without a growth mindset, an individual would just give up after their first round. They live by the motto that failure isn’t okay, but it isn’t the end either. They will try over and over again, hoping to achieve a different and better outcome the next time. No outcome is fixed in the eyes of these individuals.…

    Mental Mindset

    Change is an everyday occurrence in life. Individuals are not always in agreement with change because of their mental models or mindsets. These terms describe the brain processes to make sense of what is happening in an individual's environment. This poses a challenge for organizations because some creative ideas may be the steppingstones for progress, success, or provide the competitive edge. AAA Transportation in Waukegan, Wisconsin; an interstate trucking company specializing in transporting wholesale produce in climate controlled trailers is facing reluctance in the proposed change in services offered by the new owner. As a human resources (HR) representative the task is to get two of their reluctant employees to join their team. This paper will cover mental model mindsets and the impacts, the four steps to change and their uses, the five forces of influence and affects, and finally, commonly used mental model mindsets that guide decision-making and influence.…

    Habits of Mind

    I think of habits of mind as a special thought process in which people use to make decisions, help decide what is right and wrong, and what is the better choice. As Greene and Lidinsky state it is, "patterns of thought that lead them to question assumptions, explore alternatives, anticipate opposing arguments, compare experiences, and identify the causes and consequences of ideas and events" (12). By this I believe they are saying that habits of mind are how the brain works to seek answers and come to conclusions. Habits of mind plays a large role in society because people encounter situations multiple times in a day and people constantly have to make decisions in order to come to a final conclusion. All the possible outcomes and alternatives have to be scanned and played out and habits of mind would be what to use.…

    Attitudes

    Attitudes and behaviors are formed due to the organized society that we are born in to. Behaviors, attitudes and beliefs can be passed on from generation to generation. It doesn’t matter what country you are born in to, there are already a set of established rules, culture, beliefs, standards and expectations that are present that we are supposed to abide to. We all play roles, whether it is socially or in a group environment, your role is dependent upon the behavior that you exhibit. The three main components of attitudes are the belief component, emotional component and action component.

    Fixed Mindset Analysis

    I have a fixed mindset when it comes to feelings. I do not think that I can work on understanding other people's feelings. But, I am not the only one who has contributed to that type of mindset. I suppose many people have over the years and it finally just stuck around. When I ask a genuine question to one of my friends about why the feelings would be there or what type of feelings would be involved, I get that "look". The look that says: 1) you should already know this. 2) You should have already felt this. Or 3) the face that say 'I pity you.' All equally not wanted because they are judging me. So no outside help is really attainable to me without making me feel bad about myself.…

    When people talked about the leaders of some famous big companies, they strong believe that these leaders leadership talent is born. When you heard a person to lead the company from obscurity to world-famous, what do you think about this leader? Before I read this Mindset by Carol S. Dweck, Ph.

Leader with fixed mindset feel that they are superman or a genius, consider that employee who have more ability be more useful than person who work hard and want to grow. In addition,…
