In a large retail corporation, Sarah, a senior manager, consistently demonstrated a fixed mindset. When faced with challenges such as declining sales or customer complaints, Sarah would often resort to blaming external factors or individual team members. She believed that success was primarily determined by innate talent rather than effort or learning. As a result, Sarah resisted feedback and was reluctant to try new approaches, fearing failure and the potential damage to her reputation. Her leadership style was characterized by micromanagement and a lack of trust in her team’s abilities. Over time, morale within her team declined, innovation stagnated, and the company struggled to adapt to changing market conditions. Despite the organization's efforts to provide training and support, Sarah remained entrenched in her fixed mindset, ultimately hindering both her own growth and that of her team.
