The Growth Mindset is a mental model that teaches the perception of critique as a channel for improvement and growth, instead of a negative judgement.
The Growth Mindset, developed by psychologist Carol Dweck, encourages people to view challenges and criticisms as opportunities to learn and improve. For instance, an individual with a growth mindset who receives feedback on a project will use that critique to identify areas of weakness and strive for betterment, rather than seeing it as a failure or defeat.
In a growth mindset, challenges are exciting rather than threatening. So rather than thinking, oh, I'm going to reveal my weaknesses, you say, wow, here's a chance to grow - Carol Dweck
