If you are hiring to staff an organization that has to be creative and innovative to succeed, do you want to hire individuals who have been identified as talented very early in life and who have been trained at the best schools (Ivy League, or similar institutions?) Or do you search for people who search out challenges that help them to grow?
The unnuanced version of that question is whether success comes from nature or nurture? Are the most creative and innovative individuals born with the required talents or do they possess a learned mindset that allows them to develop the required skills?
Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck thinks she knows the answer, and she has the research to support her opinion. Go read the New York Times for the answer.
