ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR 2
Question One: Theory of growth mindset and grit
In this part of the essay, I will be sharing my personal experience of mastering in a
particular field and how it feels to try to accomplish that particular course even after facing
various hurdles. Moreover, through reflection, I would be applying the theory of grit and growth
mindset to work for my mastering Couse in future.
Since my career goal was to become a successful entrepreneur and to start up my own
business. For which, I needed to learn various management skills, and the ability to deal in
various situations that would occur in the future. I decided to do MBA that is master’s in
business administration to achieve those skills after my graduation. After entering into the course
as the classes started and the practical aspects of business and related foundation were thought to
us theoretically and using case studies and practical aspect. Most importantly they use to
concentrate to make us professional and improve our confidence, learning skills, communication
skills, time management and much more. In the first semester, our first test was to make a report
on the case study provided and presenting that report effectively in class. I was aware that I lose
my confidence when it comes to public speaking and I had a problem of anxiety, I thought I
would never gonna pass my initial stage of the mastering course[ CITATION Dwe14 \l 16393 ].
Nevertheless, my tutors make me understand that it is not about learning, IQ or any such
thing, it is about the Grit, a grit is a perseverance and passion to accomplish something, which
does not get over within some days, weeks, or months, it needs year to accomplish that, and a
mindset that will keep us going. It is about the growth mindset which will motivate a person to
perform and accept the failure, learn through that failure and try again[ CITATION Dwe17 \l
16393 ].

When I went for the presentation, it was very hard to control my anxiety and speak aloud
in front of many individuals, but after completing the presentation, It was not well performed by
me, but I knew that this is what I am here for, learning, and not afraid of being failed. I knew that
I haven’t achieved that yet, but will achieve in near future if I keep trying[ CITATION Wal15 \l
16393 ].
From that experience, I learned that to keep yourself motivated it is important to have a
growth mindset and keep on going if you failed once, and you are learning from your failure, you
will definitely notice improving yourself in next performance. Moreover, with time and practice,
I accomplish my exams and pass in those, and the reason was Grit, which kept me motivated,
and makes me accomplish what I desired to have. I get to learn that Grit is our passion to achieve
a long-term goal and with optimistic behavior to comes back from the failure and these traits of
grit lies in the base of a growth mindset, which becomes necessary to accomplish the goals set
and let to develop the grit[CITATION Dwe171 \l 16393 ].
