Hello everyone. Last time<\/a>, I wrote about “Knowledge Management” as one of the soft skills that problem solvers should have. Among them, “good knowledge manager is essential” for successful knowledge management, and the required qualities are 1. Tacit Knowledge, 2. Willingness to contribute to others and 3. GRIT (perseverance).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, I would like to write about how to develop GRIT (the ability to persevere) and the concept of “Growth Mindset” that would be useful for that purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. How to measure “GRIT”<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“GRIT” is a concept proposed by Professor Duckworth of the University of Pennsylvania, and it was “passion and perseverance toward long-term goals”, right? Now, this “GRIT” can be easily measured. Simply answer the 10 questions below (on a 5-point scale). Divide that total by 10 to get your current GRIT score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please try it when you have time. How many points did you get? I got 4.2 points. So, let’s think about how to improve from this current score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. “Growth Mindset”<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It seems that “Growth Mindset” is effective in developing “GRIT”. The “Growth Mindset” is a concept proposed by Professor Carol Dweck of Stanford University. There is a video on Youtube (about 10 minutes), so if you have time, please watch it (If you are busy, please continue reading below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
