At the core of Microsoft, a three-trillion-dollar hardware and software company, lies a kind of social poison — an ill-defined, cult-like pseudo-scientific concept called 'The Growth Mindset" that drives company decision-making in everything from how products are sold, to how your on-the-job performance is judged. I am not speaking in hyperbole.

    This is a truly excellent piece. Whilst focused on Microsoft, almost all of it is recognisable in any large organisation. And to quote the author, frankly it sickens me.
