Leadership Mindset Decision-Making: Psychological Roots and Organizational Impact

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article explores how leadership mindset—specifically the distinction between fixed and growth mindsets—shapes managerial decision-making across organizational contexts. Drawing on foundational studies by Carol Dweck, Wood & Bandura, Owusu-Manu et al., and Yeager et al., it examines how mindset influences risk-taking, adaptability, feedback interpretation, and organizational culture. The narrative is framed through a fictional dialogue between Selene, an economics undergraduate, and his father, a psychology professor, set in a memory-filled home near Cambridge. Their conversation weaves science, story, and philosophy to illuminate how leadership beliefs silently shape a company’s rise or quiet collapse.
