How does mindset play such a critical role in how you cope in the workplace?


Research has demonstrated that managers/leaders with a growth mindset have more productive staff, create more innovative environments, and have work teams that accomplish more. In comparison, managers/leaders who maintain a fixed mindset are controlling and abusive and promote an environment where employees feel judged.
