GRIT TO GREAT: HOW PERSEVERANCE, PASSION, AND PLUCK TAKE YOU FROM ORDINARY TO EXTRAORDINARY

Thaler, Linda Kaplan, Koval, Robin

Sinopse

What makes people excel is not native intelligence or natural talent, but hard work, effort, and determination.

In Grit to Great, Linda Kaplan Thaler and Robin Koval explore the importance of grit, perseverance, determination, and persistence, which they believe is the key to their success and that of many others.

We often think some people succeed because they are talented or well-connected, but research shows we overvalue talent. Many succeed because of hard work and persistence. Linda and Robin, two girls from the Bronx with no special advantages, reached the top of their profession through hard work and determination.

The book is filled with stories and research on success, revealing strategies that helped them and many others. They emphasize the courage to face challenges and the resilience to overcome setbacks.

Based on positive psychology, they discuss why optimists do better in life and how to develop this mindset. They also cover the importance of industriousness and Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000-hour rule. The book explores tenacity, essential for staying focused in a fragmented world.

Written in a concise format with humor, Grit to Great is a must-read for everyone in business.
