In Norwegian flat-hierarchy workplaces, this phrase is used by managers to give feedback without sounding overly authoritative. Used extensively in Norwegian sports media to describe athletes who are developing their skills or returning from injury. Teachers use this to encourage students who are struggling but showing improvement, focusing on the 'growth mindset.'
