What do you do if your laboratory managers struggle to develop a growth mindset to handle failure?
Handling failure is an inevitable part of laboratory management, but it becomes a problem when managers struggle to adopt a growth mindset. A growth mindset, as coined by psychologist Carol Dweck, refers to the belief that abilities and intelligence can be developed through dedication and hard work. This contrasts with a fixed mindset, where individuals see their abilities as static and unchangeable. In the dynamic environment of a lab, where experimentation and innovation are key, a growth mindset is essential. If your managers are having trouble developing this mindset, it can lead to a fear of failure that stifles progress and innovation.
