Reflect on a time you were either motivated toward a fixed mindset or toward a growth mindset by a parent or a supervisor.

Since we know that sometimes the only thing we can control is our response to something, could you have responded differently to protect your mindset? or impacted theirs?

Now, was there a way that the process could have been made the focus?

For example, I could have still praised the top performer by focusing on how well their method of completing the task sped the process or promised flawless execution instead of praising the individual creating a sense of favoritism.
