Growth Mindset
A growth mindset treats ability as developable through learning, practice and feedback rather than as a fixed trait.
A growth mindset is the belief that intelligence and abilities can develop through learning rather than remaining fixed. The concept describes an approach to learning, rather than a guarantee of any particular result.
In property-management training, an application is to use feedback, reflection and practice to improve a skill. The Stanford guidance emphasizes learning and constructive feedback, rather than praising effort alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a growth mindset simply a message to try harder?
No. Stanford notes that effort alone is an oversimplification. Learning strategies, feedback and opportunities to revise and improve are also part of the approach.
