Teaching Others
Share your struggles and growth journey to inspire others.
Explanation
Growth mindset isn't just personal—it's contagious. When you share your learning struggles and breakthroughs, you help others develop growth mindset too. Teaching others what you've learned reinforces your own growth mindset and creates a culture of development around you.
Real-World Example
Manager shares: 'I used to be terrible at presentations. Here's how I got better...' Team feels safe to admit weaknesses and work on them. vs Manager pretends natural ability: 'Presenting is easy.' Team feels inadequate, hides struggles, doesn't improve.
How to Apply
Share your growth stories, not just your successes. Talk about challenges you're working on. Celebrate others' efforts, not just their achievements. Ask people what they're learning, not just what they accomplished. Create growth conversations.
