From the course: Nano Tips to Foster a Growth Mindset and Mental Agility with Shadé Zahrai

Applying a growth mindset towards others

Want a simple technique to help you improve your relationships and prime your growth mindset? Listen up, change your perspective and focus on what you can do rather than focusing on others. Instead of, "why doesn't my team ever follow my instructions? What's wrong with them?" Try: "How can I improve the way that I communicate so that my team understands the instructions and what needs to be done." Instead of, "why. do I always have to work with these incompetent people?" Consider: "What strength does everyone have, and how can I help the team contribute these strengths?" How we talk to ourselves significantly impacts how we interpret a situation, how we feel about the situation, and then what we do. So make it about you and your actions. That's the only thing you have control over.
