Mindset
When people talked about the leaders of some famous big companies, they strong believe that these leaders leadership talent is born. When you heard a person to lead the company from obscurity to world-famous, what do you think about this leader? Before I read this Mindset by Carol S. Dweck, Ph. D, I would be very natural to think that this leadership were a genius who is born. In the book “Mindset: The New Psychology of success”, Carol S. Dweck discusses the fix mindset and growth mindset how to affect theme such as sports, business, relationships, and parents.

they also believe their company will not be defeated and replace. On the other side, a leader with a growth mindset preferred many people can became an excellent leader by learning, summarizing, from the work’s feedback. They think a talented people is useful for their business, yet they just think it at start and then they more focus on their great effort. Although both mindset can make a leader successful, the growth mindset person gained more success in business, because they know how to use feedback to strengthen their leadership and arrange the company's employees appropriately. They also affect their employee with fixed mindset to become growth mindset and to encourage employees to improve their own abilities through hard work. They know how different views of staff to make the company better and more effective.
The first way a growth mindset can help leader is by encouraging to keep studying and learning from the feedback.
Why this is an advantage of the growth mindset? Frist of all, leaders with fixed mindset think they are genius and doesn’t need to learn from others, so the feedback from the works is useless for them. However, reading the feedback from the employee is a useful way to help leaders with growth mindset because they read feedback would be like eating food tasting, digesting and absorbing. According to the article “Mindset”, I know a good leader Jack Welch took GE which was valued at fourteen billion dollars in 1980. Twenty years later, it was valued by Wall Street at 490billion (125). I am very surprised that he raised 36 times the value of the company, but I think his success for granted when I read about how he treated employee’s feedback. He went right to the works in the assembly line to hear what works had to say. He did frequent CEO chats with front-line employees (126). “Welch never stopped visiting the factories and hearing from the workers. These were people he respected, learn from, and, in turn, nurtured (126). From the jack, we can know the growth mindset can help the leaders be more direct understanding of the various aspects of the company. The leaders was able to accord to the feedback, and plan for the future development of
company.
