Former President Barack Obama, in a recent interview with LinkedIn’s editor-in-chief Daniel Roth, offered the #1 career advice for young people: “Just learn how to get stuff done.” He added: “I’ve seen, at every level, people who are very good at describing problems. People who are very sophisticated in explaining why something went wrong, or why something can’t get fixed. But what I’m always looking for is, no matter how small the problem or how big it is, somebody who says, “Let me take care of that.” If you project an attitude of, whatever it is that’s needed, I can handle it, then whoever’s running that organization will notice.”
Growth Mindset helps people “get stuff done.” In the link below you will see and hear President Obama describe 2 mindset strategies:
- Learn from your failures. You have to let failures teach you.
- Consistent effort over time. You become good at things through hard work.
