Mindset from a Viking perspective means being brave and aggressive
In the old Viking rules, we find §1 Be Brave and Aggressive with the following sub-items.
* Be direct * Grab all opportunities * Use varying methods of attack * Attack one target at a time * Use top quality weapons
Fixed Mindset and Growth Mindset
Based on current psychological insights and research, mindset is defined as how you perceive intelligence and talents. There are two basic mindsets that you can have, a fixed mindset or a growth mindset.
A fixed mindset considers intelligence as something that is fixed and cannot be changed, but only be used or not used. A fixed mindset has a passive relation to reality and understands the real world as a limitation. Such a mindset provides stability and safety, as long as the environment is mostly stable.
A growth mindset considers talents as a starting point that develop according to the use of them. A growth mindset has an active and creative relation to reality and understands the real world as an invitation for change. Such a mindset provides change and development in changing environments.
Mindset is not something you can change from day to day; it is a state of mind that is very much you. It goes back to the way you were raised and educated. However, you can change your mindset over time, establishing new habits. Another great way to influence the mindset are affirmations.
The book 'Mindset' by Carol S. Dweck, Stanford University, describes and has proven how important the mindset is. She elaborated on the crucial differences that occur in education, learning and beyond, in your mindset. Success and how much you learn and grow throughout your life depends mainly on the type of mindset you have. Dweck addresses educators and teachers, and it is particularly crucial for those who work in these professions or have children to take notice of her ideas and research. Yet, also managers and team leaders and adult learners can learn from 'Mindset', because the way you view yourself and others and the way you judge and give feedback greatly influences whether learning and growth take place or not.
