Feedback That Builds

The idea
Claudia Mueller and Carol Dweck found in nineteen ninety-eight that children praised for intelligence persisted less and performed worse after failure than children praised for effort.
In practice
Children praised for being smart coming to see intelligence as fixed.
Where people slip
The book applies this to leaders: feedback on effort and strategy builds competence; feedback on fixed ability makes failure threatening.
