Positive Leadership: Changing Your Mindset

"When people believe they can change, they react differently." Professor Carol Dweck on growth mindset

Professor Carol Dweck has reduced student aggression and other behaviour problems in American high schools and increased adults' willingness to compromise in the Middle East by teaching about the malleable nature of people's thoughts, feelings, and behaviour.

She discussed her recent research as part of a briefing for nonprofit and corporate leaders at "The Science of Getting People to Do Good" conference at the Center for Social Innovation of the Stanford Graduate School of Business.
