"Benchmarking" is often missing from performance or growth conversations in the workplace

And when we leave that out, a growth mindset approach can come across like gaslighting or moving goalposts: like Mario, we reach the end of a level only to be told that the princess is in another castle.

If we don't acknowledge that getting to that point means finishing a level beyond where we were before, it can be perceived as endlessly moving goalposts, rather than achieving another stage of growth and celebrating that before diving back in to work towards the next stage of growth.

Managers shouldn't be judged by years of experience; they should be judged by years of therapy.
