Sales leaders – 3 signs your candidate has a growth mindset
Share This Article

You're not just hiring past success.
You're hiring potential to grow.

And growth mindset is a big part of that.

Here's one of the simplest ways to test for it:

Give feedback during the interview.
- Right after a pitch.
- Right after a simulation.
- Right after they share their approach.

Then watch their reaction.

Look for these 3 signs:

  1. They show appreciation for the feedback.
  2. They don’t defend or justify their original choice.
  3. They adjust — either in their explanation or in a follow-up simulation.
