GROWTH MINDSET x THE PYGMALION EFFECT

We know that our individual mindsets (growth mindset & fixed mindset) can impact our capacity to grow. But how do our mindsets impact others?

Renowned researcher, Robert Rosenthal outlines his work and shows how our expectations can have a huge impact on the performance and development of the people around us.

Christine Rubie-Davies from the University of Auckland shows us how teacher expectations play a role in student development.

In the last third of the video we dig into applications and provide some guidance on how leaders can set high, but accurate expectations to improve the learning environment.

We experimented with a new visual style in this video. Let us know what you think!
