INQUIRING FROM THE INSIDE OUT

To develop mastery with the strategy of inquiry, it’s necessary to embrace what Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck calls a “growth mindset.” She has conducted groundbreaking research with subjects around the world, showing that people navigate through life using one of two mindsets: fixed or growth. In a fixed mindset, you believe everyone has been born with a certain unchanging level of intelligence. This results in hiding what you don’t know so people won’t think you’re not “smart.” Thus you avoid challenges and negative feedback because it could reveal what you don’t know. You consider every setback or obstacle a personal failure rather than a learning opportunity. A fixed mindset limits artful inquiry, because you expect yourself to have all the answers.

When you shift to a growth mindset, on the other hand, you see intelligence as something that can evolve. Obstacles and negative feedback become learning opportunities. You approach challenges by asking yourself three simple questions:

• What can I learn from this?

• How can I grow my capacity?

• How can I do this better?
