The more you embrace a growth mindset, the quicker you’ll become at learning from your mistakes, according to an Inc. article rounding up recent neuroscience studies. Inc. defines a growth mindset as the belief that intelligence, ability, and talent can be learned and improved with effort.

Many business leaders cite a growth mindset as a critical factor in helping people advance in their careers. Check out this 2021 article in Forbes, for example.

- Be willing to learn from mistakes
- Better correct and learn from mistakes, and
- Better accept feedback
