Constructive Feedback and Learning
The book stresses the value of constructive feedback in fostering a growth mindset. Rather than viewing criticism as a threat, those with a growth mindset see it as essential for improvement. Dweck shares an example of Robert Wood's study, where teams with a growth mindset performed better over time due to honest and open communication. 'The members of the growth-mindset groups were much more likely to state their honest opinions and openly express their disagreements,' she clarifies.
