Stiff thinking OR growing thinking

Consciously or unconsciously, see such an article, feel very rich positive energy, but also more sympathetic. And, not only for the temporary loss of the workplace or frustrated people have the help, is to students, also the same. So special share, in order to mutual encouragement.

I think the first thing that every new person will encounter after entering the workplace is finding out that he is doing nothing well.

This time is very frustrating, because you will find that you can not even mail the phone will not play. The good sense of self that comes out of school is instantly destroyed, and every day is anxious. I also have to do a company product introduction ppt, never tried to butt customers, do not know how to make a tall ppt. So he has been procrastinating, selectively ignoring the work to do something else. Even if the boss to ask the progress, but also strong on the surface of peace. And the final result is the Internet environment in a fast-changing rhythm, during the delay of the product has been reformed, and do not need me to do what PPT.

After listening to my talk, @ Liang asked me: "You are so dragged not to do, with the beginning to say clearly you will not do the consequences of what is different?" "Yes, there is no difference, if I say it early in the morning do not know how to do, may also get the guidance of senior." don't tell others about their own difficulties, even if you know that changes can not do better, but still delay the submission of results, all because of fear of being questioned ability is insufficient.

In fact, because the experience is not enough to do things well is all the job rookie will encounter. But why do some people respond well and some people take evasive actions in the face of challenges?

Later in the work to see @ Liu Jianhong Teacher's recommendation, get a lot of inspiration. Also very grateful to the teacher later to give this reply to the comments,

Zombie Thinking vs growth thinking

Professor of Behavioral psychology at Stanford University Carol Wink Hostel after a long study, people have two different modes of thinking: One is the growth mode of thinking, and the other is the stiff-fixed mode of thinking. What is the difference between the two modes of thinking?

People with stiff thinking patterns tend to think that the ability level of intelligence is innate. Almost all of them think that the standard of success is whether they have a perfect job, that they are afraid of making mistakes, and that they face the defensive attitude of others and the world.

And the growth-minded people believe that the ability of intelligence and so on can be promoted through the acquired efforts. If you ask them what they think is the most successful moment, they will answer by their own efforts to overcome the difficulties, they value in the process of their own efforts and the promotion, and not only the results of success. They are an exploratory attitude towards the world.

Professor Wink Hostel, who has been experimenting with the brain waves of two thinking patterns, found:

people with stiff thinking can only generate excitement when the feedback reflects their level of competence. When they are told that the answer is correct, brainwaves show that their attention is most concentrated at this time. But when information is available to help them get their learning opportunities, their brain waves show no signs of excitement. Even if the answers they give are wrong, they are too bothered to learn the right solution.

Those with a growing mindset are particularly concerned about the knowledge that strengthens their abilities, and only they regard the learning process as the most important.

We can see that stiff-minded people lose the chance to progress because they focus only on the results and not on Ascension. At the same time, stiff thinking can make people more prone to depression. In his study of college students, Professor Wink Hostel found that the dilemma would also make the two modes of thinking depressed and depressed, but the growing-minded students, even if depressed, would respond positively to the dilemma, while stiff-minded students were constantly grappling with the difficulties and setbacks that might make them feel incompetent and unsuccessful.

Growing minds can make people more effective in the workplace

Negotiating ability is a very important competency in the workplace, and in a study of MBA students, researchers found that growth-minded people negotiated better than stiff ones. The people who grow up in the negotiation not only make the results good for themselves, but also can make a profit from both sides in a creative way. And more growth-minded players are more likely to win. Another researcher, Robert Wood, and his colleagues have done a group behavior study. They found that it was better to work together as a group with a growing mindset, because everyone was honest about what they were saying, and the zombie-thinking people did not have a high-quality discussion because they feared that they were not good enough for the other members.

3 steps to shape your own growth-minded thinking

Since the mode of thinking is so important, can a stiff-witted mind be transformed into a growth-thinking mode?

Professor Wink Hostel says cognitive therapy can help us: "Cognitive therapy teaches people to control themselves by making extreme judgments, which makes the perception of things more reasonable." "In fact, in addition to psychological counseling, some of our daily efforts can also help shape the growth of thinking patterns." In her book, "See The growing self", she puts forward the trilogy of shaping growth thinking:

1. Self-acceptance

To know that "perfect self" is not possible, we must accept the fact that we are imperfect, and in this premise we can get out of the first step of Ascension.

2. Realize your "stiff" idea

Zombie thinking and growth thinking can exist in the same person at the same time. For example, may be in the work is stiff, but in the development of amateur interest is a growth style. So how do you perceive your mode of thinking? We can ask ourselves the following questions:

• Do you think the ability of intelligence is innate or can be improved by the day after tomorrow?
• When someone else's performance is better than yours, do you think the other person is smarter and more talented than you? Or is it because he's trying to use a better strategy?
• Do you think that effort is a foolish act?
• Is your ideal relationship a perfect fit for each other, or are you listening to each other and discussing the other person's voice or even dissent?
• Do you think the standard of success is to do your best, or not make mistakes?

These are just a few simple lists, and Professor Wink Hostel suggests that you can put this infographic in a common place and remind yourself:

3. Develop an executable growth plan

As the former friend of the Friends of the column mentioned, we have a number of important cognitive ability at 4, 50 years to reach the peak, so do not give up life too early, to believe that their own there are many changes and improve the space. Although the growth mode of thinking does not guarantee that we can rise to the top of life, but it can bring more possibilities in our life.

The criticism that is being received now is the ability or the behavior, and I think I can tell the difference now.

Whether it is the workplace or life, we are in the constant trial and error of growth, believe that they have the power of change. Try your best to do everything well, it is better than to be afraid of your feet.

Say humorous digression, do a job new, in addition to their own efforts, can also be more with the mentor or senior communication. If not @ Liang @ Liu Jianhong teacher, I think it is very difficult for me to find the short board of my thinking. Now some people will say that they know how to become, but I think, there are a lot of cattle people gathered to answer the question, in which I learned very much. I hope my experience can also be helpful to the people who are working as a rookie in the workplace.
