Thinking tip (What can I fix?): Open-minded: “Let’s test both ideas and see which works.”, “I was wrong about the answer. Thanks for showing me.” Closed-minded: “I never change my mind.”, “I don’t care what the facts say.”, “Your idea is silly, so I won’t listen.” Helps you improve: noting what worked, asking what to change, asking for feedback.
