Leadership Skills Worksheet: Growth Mindset
Leader's tip (Not yet — but learning): Growth mindset: “Mistakes help me learn.”, “If I practise, I will get better.”, “Let me try a different way.” Fixed mindset: “I’ll never be good at drawing.”, “If I fail, it means I’m not smart.”, “She is just born talented.” Turn fixed into growth by adding “yet”, praising effort (“You worked so hard!”) and changing the plan, not giving up.
