Einstellung Effect

Einstellung Effect

When we approach a problem using a mindset that worked for us in the past, even if a more efficient solution is available, we may fall victim to what is known as the Einstellung Effect.

"Einstellung" is a German word that translates to "attitude" or "setting. " It reflects the idea that existing attitudes can impede our search for innovative or alternative solutions to a problem. This tendency can limit our creativity and problem-solving skills, as we may fail to consider different perspectives or options.

To overcome this effect, we should recognise that as we gain experience, our competencies grow. There will always be people who have better solutions than ours, and technology continues to advance. Acknowledging this can help us think creatively and approach problems from new angles.

While past solutions may have been relevant then, they may no longer be applicable today. By adopting a continuous improvement mindset, we nurture our creativity and open ourselves to new possibilities in life.
