In progression of a society or an enterprise envisioning the facilitation for mindsets is vital. Please peruse the below information. All that I send is for the betterment of my country, and well selected.
 
Carol Dweck's mindset theory -  Carold Dweck is a world-renowned Stanford University psychologist. Her Mindset Theory identifies two distinct mindsets that impact individuals approach to practice and learning - within education and the workplace.

1. Fixed Mindset - where people believe basic qualities like intelligence and talent, fixed traits that cannot be developed and embellished.  Those with fixed mindsets tend to display a resistance to taking on challenges that hold the risk of failure.

2. Growth Mindset - where people believe their basic abilities can be developed through dedication, good strategies and mentoring from others. A growth mindset leads to a love of learning and an active pursuit of new experiences to facilitate personal improvement.

 

However, mindsets can be changed, learnt and unlearnt over time, often with the help of certain environmental triggers.  This notion of mindset shift is important for organisations undergoing digital transformation.  For example, creating a work environment that puts the emphasis on teamwork, challenge-seeking and learning can foster a more positive approach to change in colleagues who start out predominantly fixed.
