How you react and adapt to change could be holding you back, says Professor Jill Klein from the University of Melbourne.
According to the theory of mindset, raising your child by constantly praising them could actually create a much more fragile person.
Professor Klein says: “When the world starts to become a bit more honest with you about what your strengths and weaknesses actually are … if you’ve developed a fixed mindset you become very brittle.”
Professor Klein goes on to say a person with a fixed mindset could struggle more than others to adapt, and encouraging staff to learn from their mistakes instead of chastising them, will benefit the entire workplace.
