This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my RUclips channel 2 months ago about self development. Now I have 155 subs and almost 75 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.
This is very good. I'm going to share this with my 5th graders. We've been working on building our growth mindset all year. (Wow! Love the idea that, "We all have our own fixed mindset triggers.")
This video explains the "growth mindset" within a context of a larger Fixed Mindset. It keeps its focus on an individual but only hints on the source of the Fixed Mindset. Because of that, it "gets lost in the woods" of good concepts which then sound like buzzwords. In other words, it does not explain the essence/conditions of the Growth Mindset. The essence of the Growth Mindset is to have the opportunity to grow or in Lean management terms - Respect for People. There are - so many - great concepts/practices to explain the Growth Mindset. Fixed Mindset vs Growth Mindset is like living in two separate time/space dimensions. Please consider the following "features" of the Fixed Mindset: focus on the How plus the "loyal" language, activities/rewards/punishments (productivity is a form of violence), silos, cost mindset, "the cart in front of the horse" reactive conversations, macho way "not having the time to do it right, but always having the time to do it over", immaturity (blame, excuses, defensiveness, cynicism, criticism, condescending behaviour, toxic culture etc), FEAR, stress, drama, curse of competence/incompetence, loneliness, wilful blindness, little lies, narcissists, violence (any form), etc.
i was always insecure with the fixed mindset, i was afraid to look at the basics as i would feel stupid if i just found something out in the basics, with the growth mindset it goes away slowly
Growth mindset is a result of our beliefs , if one belief in his own mind that he can do anything and he has a strong willingness to do that stuff , he will do it . This strong belief leads you to make a strategy to reach your goals . That beliefs fosters you to follow that strategy and face difficulties and makes efforts , learn more along the path , try again and again , and don't quit or give up . Until you will see the results . To sum up , belief is the fuel of Growth mindset .
This concept holds true in personal life as much as it is important in corporate! I think its a powerful tool to overcoming struggles, self enhancement. Feeling of empowerment and worth does wonders to staying committed
Key success.1.Understand fix mind and find what to change.2.Understand growth mind set and go on new habit until new concrete habit.3.Notice yo yo effect if happening in the middle period of time.4.Keep going in new habit no return to old habit.5.Keep in it take a lot of time to success, make mind, gain some,lose some.

i hate people with growth mindset especially those who compete on details and concepts. people who compete on concepts are okay but those who compete on details i hate because theyre way too competitive. strategize and specialize is the key!!!!!!!!!!!!
2026 May 12 - HBR youtube channel - What Having A “Growth Mindset” Actually Means (Tracer: Comment Part 1 by Emmanuel Matuco started on the HBR Explainer: Solving Problems Using The Worst Idea Possible)
Comment Part2: I was very young when I met Siddhartha through a book written by Herman Hesse bearing the same name. I was looking for answers. Siddhartha found it. It was a thin book as the one who referred it to me said. I was able to read it in one go. I remember I did not close that last page then. I left it open. His smile and the memory of it, as captured on that last page by Govinda, his best friend, kept me silent for a long while. He nailed me on my seat for a long while. I decided to skip my class. Or perhaps all of my classes that day. I don’t exactly remember. It was so long ago in that university library. Only that moment stayed with me forever. If one is in a deadlock how should one sell “meaning”? How should one begin?
Note: End of comment in this particular video. Succeeding comments will be in other HBR explainer videos and confined in that Explainer group until we've exhausted the topic of "Life and its related matters" (For purposes of focus, the other HBR youtube videos, like "The New World of Work" will not be commented for now). Warmest thanks and gratitude for your kind indulgence. Emmanuel Matuco
Good stuff but unfortunately this is purely academic exercise. Culture and power structure in a company over shadows individual mindset. If the CEO has no growth mindset and courage to lose his job (i.e. not empowered), the rest of the team does not matter that much.

Key takeaways - AIR: 1) Align effort and progress, 2) Invest in learning, and 3) Reward based on outcome.
This little reminder is an excellent teaching tool.

It's problematic and ableist.
Hmm good info. Very difficult to find it in Corporate World now a days.
These insights should start in kindergarten.

The background music is just too loud and distracting. How I wish there was a way to turn it off or lower it down

excellent video
I wished it is in german language spoken. Or can is find in german, anywhere?
I try to avoid phraseology like "individuals who..." when I present the concepts of growth mindset and fixed mindset 😊
Can I just skip the "Other's feedback" and "Admitting errors" part? 😅

Growth mindset = management speak
hi :0
Good stuff but unfortunately this is purely academic exercise. Culture and power structure in a company over shadows individual mindset. If the CEO has no growth mindset and courage to lose his job (i.e. not empowered), the rest of the team does not matter that much.
So not enforcing growth mindset is management failure
Sounds like a bunch of bovine scatology to me....
no child porn no sex with minors no illegal drugs and no ilelgal firearms. authority cant override my safety or basic biological needs. fair protocols for infractions and misdemeanors and fair compensation for chores and hw.
