Trying to get a glimpse of your own mindset is like inviting a camera to see its own lens. Or like asking a fish to see the water it swims in. It’s tough to gain perspective on something we’re embedded within. That said, the task is not impossible—and taking it on offers a crucial first step on a greatly rewarding path. Once you learn to see your mindset, you can start to choose your mindset. That choice then has a profound impact on your ability to learn and grow, your willingness to get back up after getting knocked down, and your readiness for collaboration with outstanding colleagues.
